How much time is required for complete decomposition of 4 mol of water using a current of 4 ampere?
Options
- A1.93 × 1 0 5 s e c
- B3.85 × 1 0 4 s e c
- C96500 sec
- D2.92 × 1 0 5 s e c
Correct answer
A. 1.93 × 1 0 5 s e c
Step-by-step solution
To decompose 1 mole of H 2 O, we need two moles of electrons. To decompose 4 moles of H 2 O, we need 8 Faraday. Now, Q   =   I   ×   t ⇒ t   =   8 × 96500 4 = 1.93 × 10 5   sec
