A dilute solution of sulphuric acid is electrolysed using a current of 0.20 A for 4 hours to produce hydrogen and oxygen gas. The total volume of gas produced at STP is ........ cm ^3 [Nearest integer] [Given, Faraday constant F=96500 C / mol at STP molar volume of an ideal gas is 22.7 ~L / mol ] [in mL]
