Calculate the volume in cm3 of oxygen evolved at s.t.p when a current of 5A is passed through acidified water for 193s?
[F = 96500 C mol1. Molar volume of a gas at s.t.p = 22.4dm3]
[F = 96500 C mol1. Molar volume of a gas at s.t.p = 22.4dm3]
-
A.
0.056dm3 -
B.
0.224dm3 -
C.
224.000dm3 -
D.
56.000dm3
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation
Q = 193 x 5 = 965C
40H (mapsto) 2H2O + O2 + 4e
4 x 96500C = 22.4dm3
965C = x
x = (frac{22.4 times 965}{4 times 96500})
= 0.056dm3
