High purity > 99 . 95 % dihydrogen is obtained by
Options
- Areaction of zinc with aqueous alkali.
- Belectrolysis of warm aqueous barium hydroxide solution between nickel electrodes.
- Celectrolysis of acidified water using platinum electrodes.
- Dreaction of zinc with dilute acid.
Correct answer
B. electrolysis of warm aqueous barium hydroxide solution between nickel electrodes.
Step-by-step solution
Dihydrogen of high purity ( > 99 . 95 % ) is obtained by electrolysing warm aqueous barium hydroxide solution between nickel electrodes. In electrolysis, the reaction occurs at the anode and cathode :- At anode :- 2 OH - → H 2 O   +   1 2 O 2   +   2 e - At cathode :- 2 H 2 O   +   2 e -   → 2 OH -   + H 2 Hence, the high purity dihydrogen is obtained by electrolysing warm aqueous barium hydroxide.
