ChemistryThermodynamicsJEE Advanced 2025

Considering ideal gas behavior, the expansion work done (in kJ) when 144 g of water is electrolyzed completely under constant pressure at 300 K is . Use: Universal gas constant (R) = 8.3 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹; Atomic mass (in amu): H = 1, O = 16

Answer: -29.88

Solution

144 g water = 8 mol: gives 8 mol H₂ + 4 mol O₂ = 12 mol gas (the liquid's volume is negligible). Work
