    Figure 9Volume of oxygen produced in cm³024Volume of hydrogen produced in cm³02468

    Figure 9 shows the relationship between the volume of hydrogen and the volume of oxygen produced during the electrolysis. Give one conclusion that can be made about the volume of hydrogen produced compared to the volume of oxygen produced.

    How to approach this question

    Look at the graph. Pick a value on the x-axis (volume of hydrogen) and find the corresponding value on the y-axis (volume of oxygen). For example, when 4 cm³ of hydrogen is produced, what volume of oxygen is produced? Compare the two numbers. Repeat for another point to confirm the relationship.

    Full Answer

    Twice the volume of hydrogen is produced as oxygen (or the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen is 2:1).
    By reading values from the graph, we can establish the relationship between the volumes of the two gases.\n- When the volume of hydrogen (x-axis) is 4 cm³, the volume of oxygen (y-axis) is 2 cm³.\n- When the volume of hydrogen is 8 cm³, the volume of oxygen is 4 cm³.\nIn both cases, the volume of hydrogen is double the volume of oxygen. This gives a volume ratio of Hydrogen : Oxygen = 2 : 1. This is consistent with the formula for water, H₂O, which has two hydrogen atoms for every one oxygen atom.

    Common mistakes

    ✗ Just stating that as hydrogen increases, oxygen increases (this describes a correlation, not a conclusion about the ratio).\n✗ Getting the ratio the wrong way round (e.g., 1:2).
