Yes, the temperatures of the gases will be equal when produced from the electrolysis of water, assuming both are at the same pressure and volume. According to the ideal gas law (PV=nRT), since the number of moles (n), pressure (P), and volume (V) are constant for both gases, it follows that the temperatures (T) must also be equal.
Liquid water can be separated into hydrogen gas and oxygen 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 gasses be equal? In one to two sentences, used the ideal gas law to explain your answer
