Calculate the volume in cm3 of oxygen evolved at s.t.p when a current of 5A…

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]
  • 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
