Solution
The correct option is D
Both the Statement 1
and Statement 2 are not correct.
Both the Statement 1 and Statement 2 are not correct. Statement 1: The complete electrolysis of 45grams of water will yield 40 grams of O2 and 5 grams of H2. The atomic masses of H and O are 1 g/mol and 16 g/mol respectively. The molar mass of water is 18 g/mol. 45 gram of water will contain 45×1618=40 grams of oxygen and 45−40=5 g of hydrogen. Statement 2: Water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen in a ration of 8:1 by mass. Thus 18 g of water contains 16 g of O and 2 g of H. Water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen in a ration of 2: 16 = 1:8 by mass.
