    The weight of silver (at. wt. = 108) displaced by a quantity of electricity which displaces 5600 mL of \[{{O}_{2}}\] at STP will be                    [AIPMT 2014]

    A) 5.4 g

    B) 10.8 g

    C) 54.0 g

    D) 108.0 g

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Since, 22400 mL volume is occupied by 1 mole of \[{{O}_{2}}\] at STP.
    Thus, 5600 mL \[{{O}_{2}}\] means = \[\frac{5600}{22400}\text{mol}{{O}_{2}}\]
                                        \[=\frac{1}{4}\text{mol}\,{{O}_{2}}\]
    \[\therefore \] Weight of \[{{O}_{2}}\frac{1}{4}\times 32=8g\]
    According to problem,
    Equivalents of Ag = Equivalents of \[{{O}_{2}}\]
    =\[\frac{\text{ }\!\!~\!\!\text{  }\!\!~\!\!\text{  }\!\!~\!\!\text{ Weight of Ag}}{\text{Equivalent weight of Ag}}\]
    =\[\frac{{{\text{W}}_{O}}_{_{\text{2}}}}{\text{Equivalent}\,\text{weight}\,\text{of}\,{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}}\]
    \[\frac{{{W}_{Ag}}}{\frac{{{M}_{Ag}}}{VF}}=\frac{{{W}_{{{O}_{2}}}}}{\frac{{{M}_{{{O}_{2}}}}}{VF}}\]
    \[\therefore \]                  \[\frac{{{W}_{Ag}}}{108}\times \frac{8}{32}\times 4\]
                            \[[\because \,2{{H}_{2}}O\to {{O}_{2}}+4{{H}^{+}}+4{{e}^{-}}]\]
    Þ         \[{{W}_{Ag}}=108g\]
