प्रश्न
Why is the amount of gas collected in one of the test tubes in the following Activity double of the amount collected in the other? Name this gas.
- Take a plastic mug. Drill two holes at its base and fit rubber stoppers in these holes. Insert carbon electrodes in these rubber stoppers as shown in the following Fig.
- Connect these electrodes to a 6 volt battery.
- Fill the mug with water such that the electrodes are immersed. Add a few drops of dilute sulphuric acid to the water.
- Take two test tubes filled with water and invert them over the two carbon electrodes.
- Switch on the current and leave the apparatus undisturbed for some time.
- You will observe the formation of bubbles at both the electrodes. These bubbles displace water in the test tubes.
- Is the volume of the gas collected the same in both the test tubes?
• Once the test tubes are filled with the respective gases, remove them carefully. - Test these gases one by one by bringing a burning candle close to the mouth of the test tubes.
Caution: This step must be performed carefully by the teacher.
- What happens in each case?
- Which gas is present in each test tube?

उत्तर
Water contains two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen. Therefore, the amount of hydrogen and oxygen produced during the electrolysis of water is in the ratio of 2:1. In the process of electrolysis, hydrogen goes into one test tube, and oxygen goes into another. Therefore, the amount of hydrogen gas collected in the test tube is double that of oxygen.
