How many moles of hydrogen gas could be produced by the complete decomposition of 1 mole of water?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
Since a water molecule, H2O, has exactly the same quantity of hydrogen atoms as a hydrogen molecule, H2, it follows that one mole of water can be decomposed into one mole of hydrogen gas.

What function does catalase have?
to prevent the build up of hydrogen peroxideFunctions of catalaseis a common enzyme found in nearly all living organisms that are exposed to oxygen where it functions to catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen.
What could be done to increase the rate of decomposition of CaCO3?
Just heat it up.
What compound produces the element potassium?
Ionic compounds which contain potassium could yield potassium in a decomposition reaction; however, the energy requirements for such a reaction are very high. It can be done though: an example is the decomposition of potassium via electrolysis: 2KCl --> 2K + Cl2.
What is HF symbol in chemistry?
What context? Could be Hydrogen Flouride.
What else could be called a hydrogen bond?
A hydrogen bond is the strongest type of intermolecular forces. It occurs whenever there is a bond between hydrogen and either fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen.
Why is hydrogen a renewable fuel?
Hydrogen is not a renewable fuel. It is a secondary energy source (or an energy carrier) that could be produced using another primary energy source. Hydrogen could be produced using either renewable primary energy source (e.g. solar energy), nuclear energy, or by using fossil fuel (e.g. natural gas)
Can we produce water from reacting hydrogen with oxygen?
We could. We usually don't, because most hydrogen is produced by electrolysis from water in the first place. But we could if we found ourselves with an excess of hydrogen and a deficit of water for some reason.
Does hyena speed up decomposition?
You could say that, if you consider eating dead animals to be speeding up decomposition.
What gas is produced when a metal reacts with an acid?
The gas that is typically produced when a metal reacts with an acid is hydrogen. However, other gases could be released depending on which metal and acid is used.

What could be done to increase the rate of decomposition of CaCO3?
Just heat it up.
Could the US reduce its use of oil by increasing use of nuclear power plants?
Yes, dramatically. Especially if we switched to hydrogen fuel cell cars and produced the hydrogen in the nuclear power plants by direct thermal conversion without generation of electricity.
How could you change hydrogen solid to hydrogen liquid?
Heat it.
What two elements could be formed from the decomposition of barium phosphide Ba3P2?
Barium and Phosphorus
It takes years for limestone to decompose in the presence of acid rain -Which could be true regarding the decomposition of limestone?
The decomposition of limestone may be spontaneous if it also does not require continual input of energy.
How is hydrogen sulfide production detected?
It has a bad smell that can be detected by our nose, even in small concentrations.Also, people could try taking a sample of air that contains hydrogen sulfide, and let it pass through a solution of lead nitrate, if the gas contained hydrogen sulfide then the solution will become black due to the lead sulfide that was produced.
What is the benefit of hydrogen as an alternative energy?
Hydrogen does not produce any carbon dioxide when burned or used in a fuel cell - just water. So it is clean and efficient. Unfortunately, carbon monoxide is produced when hydrogen is produced from natural gas (in the steam reformation of methane), so it isn't really that green if it produced from fossil fuels, which is how it is done currently on an industrial scale. The only really carbon-free way to make H2 without producing carbon dioxide is by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen gas. If we could do this efficiently with sunlight, this would ideal. Right now we don't have a way to do this efficiently and at low cost.
