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

  • question_answer
    In the electrolysis of water, one Faraday of electrical energy would evolve                                           [DCE 2004]

    A)                 One mole of oxygen      

    B)                 One g atom of oxygen  

    C)                 8 g of oxygen    

    D)                 22.4 litres of oxygen

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               Hydrolysis of water : \[2{{H}_{2}}O\] ⇌ \[4{{H}^{+}}+4{{e}^{-}}+{{O}_{2}}\]                    4 F charge will produce = 1 mole \[{{O}_{2}}=32\ gm\ {{O}_{2}}\]                                 1 F charge will produce \[=\frac{32}{4}=8\ gm\ {{O}_{2}}\].
