how many grams of water are produced from 100 grams of oxygen
Answers
Answer:
If we decompose 100 grams of pure water by passing electricity through it then 11 grams of hydrogen and 89 grams of oxygen obtained. This experiment shows that water always consists of the same two elements hydrogen and oxygen combine together in the same constant proportion of 11: 89 or 1:8 by mass.
Explanation:
Answer:
U think the question should be how many grams of oxygen and hydrogen are produced if water is 100 grams.
The ans for that is:
2H2O -> O2 + 2H2
Or… 1 mol of water produces 1 mol of hydrogen and 1/2 mol of oxygen
each mol of water is 18.016 g per mol
100 g = 100/18.016 or 5.55062 moles of water
Each mol of hydrogen is 2.016 g
so it requires 2.016*100/18.016 or 11.19 g of hydrogen
oxygen required is 0.5*100/18.016 moles or 2.77531 moles
molar mass of oxygen is 32 g
so 2.7753 x 32 mol = 88.81 g of oxygen
together 88.81 g oxygen and 11.19 g hydrogen gets you back to 100 g of water…
Hope this helps if not l am really sorry.
