  1. A \(2.33 \mathrm{~A}\)
  2. B \(6.0 \mathrm{~A}\)
  3. C \(7.9 \mathrm{~A}\)
  4. D \(8.61 \mathrm{~A}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(8.61 \mathrm{~A}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(2 \mathrm{H}^{+}+2 e^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_2\) 1 mole of \(\mathrm{H}_2=22400 \mathrm{cc}\) at NTP 2 moles of electron required \(=2 \times 96500\) \(\therefore 1 \mathrm{cc}\) at \(\mathrm{NTP}=\frac{2 \times 96500}{22400}=8.616\)…
