Calculate the volume of O 2 liberated at STP by passing 5 A current for 193 sec through acidified water:
Options
- A56   mL
- B112   mL
- C158   mL
- D965   mL
Correct answer
A. 56   mL
Step-by-step solution
As per the first law of electrolysis, The mass deposited or volume liberated at the electrode is directly proportional to the charge passing between the electrode. m = ZQ Where Z = E F (electrovalent equivalent) Q = i × t . mass of O 2 =   E × i × t F (Where F = 96500   C ) = 8 × 5 × 193 96500   g = 0 . 08   g ∵ At S TP , volume of 32   g   O 2   =   22400   mL ∴ The volume of 0 . 08   g   O 2 = 22400 × 0 . 08 32 = 56 &
