    In the electrolysis of water, one faraday of electrical energy would liberate

    A) one mole of oxygen

    B) one gram atom of oxygen

    C) 8 g oxygen

    D) 22.4 lit. of oxygen

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] According to the definition 1 F or 96500 C is the charge carried by 1 mol of electrons when water is electrolysed \[2{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{}}4{{H}^{+}}+{{O}_{2}}+4{{e}^{-}}\] So, 4 Faraday of electricity liberate = 32 g of\[{{O}_{2}}\]. Thus 1 Faraday of electricity liberate \[=\frac{32}{4}g\,of\,{{O}_{2}}=8g\,of\,{{O}_{2}}\]
