a) Y = hydrogen gas.
X = oxygen gas
(b) Y = 2H+(aq) + 2e---------> H2(g) co
X = 4OH-
(aq) 2H2O(l) + O2(g) + 4ev1 accept convectional way. Reject
4OH-(aq) - 2e----> 2H2O(l) + O2(g).
(c) Oxygen X used in
- Welding
- Rocket fuel
- Respiration aid in hospitals/deep sea diving.
(d) No free ions for the HCl is a molecular compound does not conduct electricity
