8.1moles
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of water to be decomposed = 29.2g
Unknown:
Number of moles of oxygen.
Solution:
To solve this problem, we first write the balanced reaction equation :
2H₂O → 2H₂ + O₂
Now convert the given mass of the water to number of moles;
Number of moles of water =
Molar mass of water = 2(1) + 16 = 18g/mol
Number of moles of water = = 16.2moles
From the balanced reaction equation:
2 moles of water produced 1 mole of oxygen gas;
16.2 mole of water will produce = 8.1moles of oxygen gas
