When electric current is passed through acidified water, 448 mL of hydrogen gas at STP is collected at the cathode in 965 seconds. The current passed in amperes is :

  1. A 1.0
  2. B 2.5
  3. C 3.0
  4. D 4.0
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 4.0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(n_{H_2} = \frac{448 \text{ mL}}{22400 \text{ mL/mol}} = 0.02 \text{ mol}\) \(n_{e^-} = 2 \times n_{H_2} = 2 \times 0.02 \text{ mol} = 0.04 \text{ mol}\) \(I = \frac{n_{e^-} \times F}{t} = \frac{0.04 \text{ mol} \times 96500 \text{ C/mol}}{965 \text{ s}} = 4.0 \text{ A}\)
