Considering ideal gas behavior, the expansion work done (in kJ) when 144 g of water is electrolyzed completely under constant pressure at 300 K is ____.

Use: Universal gas constant ; Atomic mass (in amu):

Answer: 29.88

Solution

The electrolysis reaction is:


Moles of water = mol

From 8 mol of water:
  • 8 mol of is produced
  • 4 mol of is produced

Total gaseous moles produced = mol

Expansion work at constant pressure:



The magnitude of work done is 29.88 kJ.
