In the electrolysis of water, 1 F of electrical energy would evolve-
Options
- A1 mole of oxygen
- B1 g atom of oxygen
- C8 g of oxygen
- D22.4 L of oxygen
Correct answer
C. 8 g of oxygen
Step-by-step solution
Hydrolysis of water can be represented by the following equations 2 H 2 O ⇌ O 2 + 4 H + + 4 e - ∵ 4 Faraday of charge liberate O 2 = 32 g ∴ 1 Faraday of charge liberate O 2 = 32 4 g = 8 g
