    \[{{H}_{2}}\] gas is liberated at cathode and anode both by electrolysis of the following solution except in

    A)  \[NaCl\]

    B)  \[NaH\]

    C)  \[LiH\]

    D)  \[HCOONa\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    In Nelsons cell, \[{{H}_{2}}\] gas is liberated at cathode wheres \[C{{l}_{2}}\] gas is liberated at anode, on electrolysis of solution of NaCI.                 \[NaClN{{a}^{+}}+C{{l}^{-}}\]                 \[{{H}_{2}}O{{H}^{+}}+O{{H}^{-}}\] at cathode                 \[{{H}^{+}}+{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}H\]                 \[H+H\xrightarrow{{}}{{H}_{2}}\uparrow \] at anode                 \[C{{l}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}Cl+{{e}^{-}}\] \[Cl+Cl\xrightarrow{{}}C{{l}_{2}}\uparrow \]
