Question

When high voltage is run through water, it can actually separate the oxygen and hydrogen. Again, determine the mole ratios that are balanced.

Answer 1

2:1

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct option is C)

We can see from the balanced equation, that the mole ratio of hydrogen to oxygen is 2:1 , both in the water molecule and in the reactants, hydrogen gas (H

2

) and oxygen gas (O

2

). The electrolysis of water causes the decomposition of water, (H

2

O), which produces hydrogen and oxygen.
