Question

Water can be broken down via electrolysis according to the reaction, 2 H2O (l) --> 2 H2 (g) + O2 (g) Calculate the pressure exerted by O2 when 2.676 g of water is completely broken down and the gases are collected in a 1.668 L container at 25 oC. Hint: calculate the number of moles of O2 produced first. (Do not put units in answer)

Step 1

676 g. The molar mass of water (H2O) is approximately 18.015 g/mol. Number of moles of H2O = mass (g) / molar mass (g/mol) Number of moles of H2O = 2.676 g / 18.015 g/mol ≈ 0.1485 moles. Show more…
