JEE Main & Advanced Chemistry Electrochemistry / विद्युत् रसायन Question Bank Faraday's law of electrolysis

  • question_answer
    When 1F of electricity is passed through acidulated water, \[{{O}_{2}}\]evolved is                                            [MHCET 2004]

    A)                 \[11.2\ d{{m}^{3}}\]       

    B)                 \[5.6\,d{{m}^{3}}\]

    C)                 \[22.4\ d{{m}^{3}}\]       

    D)                 \[1.0\ d{{m}^{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               Reaction for electrolysis of water is                    \[2{{H}_{2}}O\] ⇌ \[4{{H}^{+}}+2{{O}^{2-}}\]                    \[2{{O}^{2-}}\to {{O}_{2}}+4{{e}^{-}}\]                    \[4{{e}^{-}}+4{{H}^{+}}\to 2{{H}_{2}}\]                    \[\because \] \[n=4\] so 4 Faraday charge will liberate                    1 mole \[=22.4\ d{{m}^{3}}\]oxygen                                 \[\therefore \] 1 Faraday charge will liberate \[\frac{22.4}{4}=5.6\ d{{m}^{3}}\ {{O}_{2}}\].
