Which of the following statements accurately describes the volume of gas collected in each test tube in Activity 1.7? A) The volume of gas collected in both test tubes is equal B) The volume of gas collected in one test tube is half the volume collected in the other C) The volume of gas collected in each test tube is dependent on the current applied D) The volume of gas collected in one test tube is twice the volume collected in the other
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for an accurate description of the volume of gas collected in test tubes during a specific activity, identifying the relationship between the volumes of gas collected based on the options provided.
Answer
D) The volume of gas collected in one test tube is twice the volume collected in the other.
The final answer is D) The volume of gas collected in one test tube is twice the volume collected in the other.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is D) The volume of gas collected in one test tube is twice the volume collected in the other.
More Information
In the electrolysis of water, twice as much hydrogen gas is produced compared to oxygen. This is due to the chemical decomposition of water (H2O) into two volumes of hydrogen (H2) and one volume of oxygen (O2).
Tips
A common mistake is to assume that the volumes of gases collected will be equal, without considering the stoichiometry of the reaction.
