Case: Read the paragraph and answer the following questions Electrolysis of water, also known as electrochemical water splitting, is the process of using electricity to decompose water into oxygen and hydrogen gas by a process called electrolysis. Hydrogen gas released in this way can be used as hydrogen fuel or remixed with oxygen to create oxyhydrogen gas, which is used in welding and other applications. |
What is the mole ratio of Hydrogen and Oxygen gases liberated during electrolysis of water? |
1:1 1:2 2:1 4:1 |
2:1 |
2 moles of Hydrogen and 1 mole of Oxygen get liberated. |
