A dilute solution of sulphuric acid is electrolysed using a current of 0.10 A for 2 hours to produce hydrogen and oxygen gas. The total volume of gases produced at STP is cm3. (Nearest integer) [Given : Faraday constant F=96500 Cmol-1 at STP, molar volume of an ideal gas is 22.7 Lmol-1]

Solution

At anode

2H2OO2g+4H++4e-

At cathode

2H++2e-H2g

Now number of gm eq. =i×t96500

=0.1×2×60×6096500

=0.00746

VO2=0.007464×22.7=0.0423

VH2=0.007462×22.7=0.0846
