Water can be decomposed by electrolysis into hydrogen gas and oxygen gas. What mass of water must decompose to fill a 4.00 L flask to a total pressure of 2.63 atm at 298 K with a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen? (R = 0.08206 L·atm/mol·K) 2 H2O(l) → 2 H2(g) + O2(g)

How many grams of water form when 2.74 L of O2 gas at STP completely reacts with H2? (molar mass H2O = 18.02 g/mol) 2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(g) 4.41 g H2O 2.00 g H2O 0.998 g H2O 0.04988 g H2O

Water can be separated into its elements according to the following equation by electrolysis. If 20.0 g of water is decomposed by this method, how much oxygen gas is produced? 2H2O(l) 2H2(g) O2(g)

If 2 moles of water decomposes, the products that will form are 2 moles of hydrogen gas and one mole of oxygen gas. If a reaction is conducted that consumes 20.0 mL of water, what volume of oxygen gas will be produced (in L)? The density of water is 0.998 g/mL. Assume that 1 mole of oxygen gas has a volume of 22.414 L. Use these atomic masses: H = 1.008 amu; O = 15.999 amu
