JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 2. Electrochemistry

When an electric current is passes through acidified water, \(112\,mL\) of hydrogen gas at \(N. T.P\). was collected at the cathode in \(965\,seconds\). The current passed, in ampere, is

  1. A \(2.0\)
  2. B \(0.1\)
  3. C \(0.5\)
  4. D \(1.0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1.0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Reduction at cathode: \(2{e^ - }\, + \,2{H_2}O\, \to \,{H_2}\, + \,2O{H^ - }\) (valence factor) \(H_2=2\) At \(NTP\) \(22400\,mL\) of \(H_2=1\,mole\) of \(H_2\,\,112\,mL\) of \({H_2}\, = \,\frac{1}{{22400}}\, \times \,112\, = \,0.005\,mole\) of \(H_2\) Moles of \(H_2\) produced…
