Why is the amount of gas collected in one of the test tubes in Activity 1.7 double of the amount collected in the other? Name this gas.

The Magical Reaction: Remember our underwater adventure with the mug, electrodes, and bubbles? Well, it’s all about splitting water (H₂O) into its two best friends: hydrogen (H₂) and oxygen (O₂). The magical equation is: 2H2​O→2H2​+O2​ For every two water molecules, we get one oxygen molecule and two hydrogen molecules. The Gas Mystery: The test tube with more bubbles contains hydrogen gas (H₂). It’s like the giggly, popper gas. The test tube with fewer bubbles holds oxygen gas (O₂). It’s the superhero gas that makes candles burn brighter! So, the double amount of gas in one test tube is our friendly hydrogen gas!
