Calculate the time required for complete decomposition of one mole of water using 2 ampere current. .
Options
- A9650 sec
- B96500 sec
- C1 .93   ×   10 5   sec
- D38600 sec
Correct answer
B. 96500 sec
Step-by-step solution
2 H 2 O → 2 H 2 + O 2 One mole of H 2 O need 2 moles of e − s for electrolysis. So, Q = I × t ⇒ t   =   Q I = 2 × 96500 2 ∴ t = 96500 sec
