On electrolysis of water, a total of 1mole1mole of gases is evolved. The amount of water decomposed is

Options

  1. A1mol1mol
  2. B2mol2mol
  3. C13mol\dfrac{1}{3}mol
  4. D23mol\dfrac{2}{3}mol

Correct answer

D. 23mol\dfrac{2}{3}mol

Step-by-step solution

∵∵ Only one mole of total gases are evolved and H2O{H}_{2}O decomposes as

H2O→decompositionH2+12O2{H}_{2}O\overset{decomposition}{→}{H}_{2} + \dfrac{1}{2}{O}_{2}

i.e. total moles =1+12=32= 1 + \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{3}{2} moles by one mole of H2O{H}_{2}O

Now,

∵32∵ \dfrac{3}{2} moles of gases are evolved by =1mole= 1mole of H2O{H}_{2}O

∴1mole∴ 1mole of gases are evolved by =13/2=23= \dfrac{1}{3 / 2} = \dfrac{2}{3}

Hence, 1mole1mole of total gases are evolved by 23mole\dfrac{2}{3}mole of H2O{H}_{2}O.
