    The pH of  \[0.5\text{ }L\] of 1\[1.0\text{ }M\text{ }NaCl\] after the electrolysis for 965 s using 5.0 A current, is

    A) \[1.0\]                  

    B)        \[12.7\]

    C)        \[13.0\]               

    D)        \[1.30\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[2NaCl+2{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{electrolysis}{{H}_{2}}+C{{l}_{2}}\]                                                                   \[+2NaOH\] Weight of \[NaCl\]I present in \[0.5L=0.5mol\] Charge \[=965\times 5=4825C\] \[\therefore \] Number of moles decomposed \[=\frac{1\times 4825}{96500}=0.05mol\] \[\therefore \] Number of moles of \[NaOH\] formed is also 0.05. \[\therefore \] \[Molarity=\frac{0.05\times 1000}{500}=0.1\] \[pOH=1,pH=13\]
