Question

A liquid compound X of molecular mass 18 u can be obtained from a number of natural sources. All the animals and plants need liquid X for their survival. When an electric current is passed through 198 grams of pure liquid X under suitable conditions, then 176 grams of gas Y and 22 grams of gas Z are produced. Gas Y is produced at the positive electrode whereas gas Z is obtained at the negative electrode. Moreover, gas Y supports combustion whereas gas Z burns itself causing explosions.

i) Identify Y and Z
ii) what is the ratio of mass of element Z to the mass of Y in the liquid X?
iii)which law of chemical combination is illustrated by this example? state the law

REPLY ASAP PLS

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

All the animals and plants need liquid X for their survival. When an electric current is passed through 200 grams of pure liquid X under suitable conditions, then 178 grams of gas Y and 22 grams of gas Z are produced. Gas Y is produced a the positive electrode whereas gas Z is obtained at the negative electrode.
