Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 508

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

At anode \(2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow \mathrm{O}_2(g)+4 \mathrm{H}^{+}+4 e^{-}\) At cathode \(2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}+2 e^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_2(\mathrm{~g})+2 \mathrm{OH}^{-}\) Now number of gram equivalent…
