The electrolysis of water breaks up the water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen, as shown in this photo. Why is the volume of the hydrogen that is collected twice the volume of the oxygen collected?
a. Hydrogen atoms are twice as big as oxygen atoms.
b. There are twice as many hydrogen atoms in water as there are oxygen atoms.
c. Oxygen atoms are 16 times as massive as hydrogen atoms.
d. A gas formed from oxygen gas particles takes up twice as much space as a gas formed from the same number of hydrogen gas particles under identical conditions.
e. The hydrogen occurs as H2 molecules of two atoms each while the oxygen is just single O atoms.
