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):
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:
Total gaseous moles produced = mol
Expansion work at constant pressure:
The magnitude of work done is 29.88 kJ.
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.
