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 4540=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.
