Answer:
15 mL of O₂.
Explanation:
The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:
2H₂O —> 2H₂ + O₂
From the balanced equation above,
2 mL of H₂O reacted to produce 2 mL of H₂ and 1 mL of O₂.
Next, we shall determine the volume of H₂O needed to produce 30 mL of H₂. This can be obtained as follow:
From the balanced equation above,
2 mL of H₂O reacted to produce 2 mL of H₂.
Therefore, 30 mL of H₂O will also react to produce 30 mL of H₂.
Thus, 30 mL of H₂O is needed for the reaction.
Finally, we shall determine the volume of O₂ produced from the reaction. This can be obtained as follow:
From the balanced equation above,
2 mL of H₂O reacted to produce 1 mL of O₂.
Therefore, 30 mL of H₂O will react to produce = (30 × 1)/2 = 30/2 = 15 mL of O₂.
Thus, 15 mL of O₂ were produced from the reaction.
