    The number of moles of oxygen obtained by the electrolytic decomposition of 108 g water is

    A)  2.5                        

    B)                                         3                            

    C)         5                            

    D)         7.5

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\underset{=\,36g}{\mathop{\underset{2\,\,\times \,\,18}{\mathop{\underset{2\,mol}{\mathop{2{{H}_{2}}O}}\,}}\,}}\,\xrightarrow{Electrolysis}2{{H}_{2}}\,\,\,\,+\underset{\,\,\,\,\,\,1\,\,mol}{\mathop{\,\,\,\,{{O}_{2}}}}\,\] \[\because \] \[36\,g\]of \[{{H}_{2}}O\] produce 1 mole of oxygen \[\therefore \] 108 g of water will produce oxygen \[=\frac{108}{36}=3\,mol\]
