The volume of gases evolved when dil H2So4 electrolyzed using 2F at STP is
(A) 22.4L
(B) 11.2L
(C) 33.6L
(D) 44.8L
Solution
Electrolysis :- The process of a that causing chemical reaction by passing an current through a liquid solution of substance. As a result it breaks down into its respective anion and cation.
Complete Step By Step Solution
Electrolysis of dil H2So4 :- Dilate sulphuric acid consists of water molecules. The ion present in dil H2So4 are H2+OH ion from water and H+ and ion from the sulphuric acid . The positive ions attracted towards the cathode whereas negative ions towards the anode.
Reaction takes place cathode
2H++2e−→H2
At Anode
4oH−→o2+2H2o+4e−
2 moles of electrons gives us one mole of o22H2 when 2F electricity gives 2 moles of gases .
Mole of gases at STP is equivalent to = 22.4L
Mole of gases at STP is equivalent to = 2×224
= 44.8L
So, the ‘D’ is the correct option
Note
The knowledge of the electrolysis of dil sulphuric acid must be the knowledge of how much litre of gas consists of STP of 1 mole because all these things helpful to solve the problem.Related to electrolysis of liquid.
