Options
- A44.8 L
- B22.4 L
- C33.6 L
- D11.2 L
Correct answer
C. 33.6 L
Step-by-step solution
H ₂ and O ₂ are produced at cathode and anode respectively. At cathode: 2 H ₂ O +2 e ⁻ H ₂+2 OH ⁻2 ~F 1 ~mol At anode: array r 2 H ₂ O O ₂+4 H ⁺+4 e ⁻ 1 2 ~mol 2 ~F array aligned Total volume of gases & =22.4 ~L H ₂ & +11.2 ~L O ₂ 33.6 ~L aligned
