Why is the amount of gas collected in on...

Why is the amount of gas collected in one of the test tubes in activity 1.7 see tesxtbook double of the amount collected in the other ? Name this gas

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Water contains two parts of hydrogen and one parts oxygen. Therefore, during the electrolysis of water the amount of hydrogen gas collected in one of the test tubes is double than that of the oxygen produced and collected in the other test tube.
