To solve the problem, we need to analyze the electrolysis of concentrated sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) and determine the relationship between the moles of hydrogen gas (H₂) and oxygen gas (O₂) produced during the process. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Electrolysis Reaction**: - During the electrolysis of concentrated H₂SO₄, perdisulfuric acid (H₂S₂O₈) and oxygen (O₂) are formed. The overall reaction can be represented as: \[ 2 \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{S}_2\text{O}_8 + \text{O}_2 + \text{H}_2 ...
