When an electric current is passed through acidified water, 112 mL of hydrogen gas at N.T.P was collected at the cathode in 965 seconds. The current passed, in ampere, is:
  1. 2.0
  2. 0.1
  3. 0.5
  4. 1.0

Solution

Cathode
2e-+ 2H2OH2+ 2OH- v.f.H2=2
Mole =i×tv.f.×96500
11222400=i×9652×96500
12= i2
i=1 amp
