    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 :

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