When electricity is passed through water...

When electricity is passed through water, then a change V occurs which leads to the formation of two gases W and X. On the other hand, when water is heated strongly, then a change Y takes place leading to the formation of gas Z.
What is the gas Z?

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the two changes mentioned: the electrolysis of water and the heating of water. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Electrolysis of Water**: - When electricity is passed through water (H₂O), it undergoes a process called electrolysis. - During electrolysis, water is split into two gases: hydrogen (H₂) and oxygen (O₂). - Therefore, we can identify the two gases formed as: - Gas W = Hydrogen (H₂) - Gas X = Oxygen (O₂) 2. **Identifying Change V**: - The change that occurs when electricity is passed through water is called **Change V**. - Change V = Electrolysis of Water. 3. **Heating Water**: - When water is heated strongly, it undergoes a physical change where it transforms from a liquid state to a gaseous state. - This process is known as vaporization. 4. **Identifying Gas Z**: - The gas formed when water is heated strongly is water vapor, which is the gaseous form of water. - Therefore, we can conclude that: - Gas Z = Water vapor (H₂O in gaseous state). 5. **Identifying Change Y**: - The change that occurs when water is heated strongly is called **Change Y**. - Change Y = Vaporization of Water. ### Conclusion: - The gas Z formed when water is heated strongly is **water vapor (H₂O)**.
