How much time is required for complete decomposition of two moles of water using 4 ampere

Answer

96500 seconds

Explanation

Solution

The decomposition of 2 moles of water requires 4 moles of electrons. The total charge required is Q=ne×F=4 mol×96500 C/mol=386000 CQ = n_e \times F = 4 \text{ mol} \times 96500 \text{ C/mol} = 386000 \text{ C}. The time required is t=Q/I=386000 C/4 A=96500 secondst = Q/I = 386000 \text{ C} / 4 \text{ A} = 96500 \text{ seconds}.
