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

    A)  one mole of oxygen

    B)  one g atom of oxygen

    C)  8 g of oxygen

    D)  22.4 L of oxygen

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Hydrolysis of water can be represented by the following equations \[2{{H}_{2}}O\rightleftharpoons {{O}_{2}}+4{{H}^{+}}+4{{e}^{-}}\] \[\because \] 4 F of charge liberate \[{{O}_{2}}=32g\] \[\therefore \] 1 F of charge liberate \[{{O}_{2}}=\frac{32}{4}\]       \[=8g\]
