Answer:

2.318032g

Explanation:

-The electrolysis equation of water is written as below:

[tex]2H_2O_{(l)}->2H_2_{(g)}+O_2_{(g)}[/tex]

-The mole ratio of Water to the hydrogen formed is 1:1, therefore 2.3 moles of hydrogen gas is produced.

-Hydrogen's molar mass is 1.00784 grams:

[tex]Mass=moles\times molar \ mass\\\\\=2.3\times 1.00784\\\\=2.318032\ g[/tex]

Hence, 2.318032 grams of hydrogen is produced.
