AI Generated Solution

To find the amount of electricity that passed during the electrolysis of water, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Electrolysis of Water During the electrolysis of water, water (H₂O) is split into hydrogen (H₂) and oxygen (O₂) gases. The overall reaction can be represented as: \[ 2H_2O \rightarrow 2H_2 + O_2 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Total Volume of Gases Collected According to the problem, a total volume of \( 33.6 \, \text{mL} \) of hydrogen and oxygen gas was collected at STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure). ...
