An electrolysis cell splits water into hydrogen and oxygen.
2H2O→2H2+O22\text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow 2\text{H}_2 + \text{O}_22H2O→2H2+O2
The cell gives off 6.0 dm3 of oxygen, measured at room temperature and pressure.
Relative formula mass (MrM_rMr) of water = 18
At room temperature and pressure, one mole of any gas occupies 24 dm3.
What mass of water was split?
18.0 g18.0\ \text{g}18.0 g
2.25 g2.25\ \text{g}2.25 g
4.5 g4.5\ \text{g}4.5 g
9.0 g9.0\ \text{g}9.0 g
