The total volume of dry gaseous products at S T P , when 3 moles of electrons are transferred from anode to cathode in the electrolysis of water is: (Volume of gas a STP = 22.4 L)
Options
- A67.2 L
- B50.4 L
- C44.8 L
- D56.0 L
Correct answer
B. 50.4 L
Step-by-step solution
3 O H Θ → 3 4 O 2 + 3 2 H 2 O + 3 e - ( A n o d e ) 3 H + + 3 e - → 3 2 H 2 ( C a t h o d e ) 3 4 mole O 2 (Anode) + 3 2 mole H 2 (cathode) mole of gas = 3 4 + 3 2 = 9 4 mole of gas = 9 4 × 22.4 = 50.4 L
