Liquid water can be separated into hydrogen gas and oxygen gas through electrolysis. 1 mole of hydrogen gas and 0.5 moles of oxygen gas is produced from 1 mole of liquid water collected in separate 10 L containers at 1 atm. Will the temperatures of the gases be equal? In one to two sentences, use the ideal gas law to explain your answer.(2 points)
According to the ideal gas law, the temperatures of the gases will be equal since the ideal gas law equation (PV = nRT) shows that temperature is directly proportional to pressure and moles of gas, and both gases have the same pressure and moles.
