    The oxygen obtained from 72 kg of water is

    A) 72 kg                                     

    B) 46 kg     

    C)        50 kg                     

    D)        64 kg

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Key Idea: First-write the reaction for dissociation of water and then with help of unitary method find how much oxygen is produced from 72 kg of water. \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  2(1\times 2+16) \\  =\,36\,\text{kg} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{2{{H}_{2}}O}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}2{{H}_{2}}+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  2\,\times \,16 \\  =32\,\text{kg} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{O}_{2}}}}\,\]                 \[\because \]\[36\text{ kg}\,{{\text{H}}_{2}}O\]produces oxygen \[=32\,\text{kg}\]                 \[\therefore \]\[\text{72}\,\,\text{kg}\,{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}\text{O}\]process oxygen \[=\frac{32}{36}\times 72\]                                                                 \[=64\,kg\]
