Electrolysis of aqueous \(\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\) was carried out by passing a current of 3 ampere for \(10 \mathrm{~min}\). The volume of the gas (L) at STP at the anode of the cell is approximately

  1. A 0.19
  2. B 2.1
  3. C 0.1
  4. D 0.15
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 0.1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The possible chemical reaction at the anode \[ 2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{l}) \rightarrow \mathrm{O}_2 \uparrow+4 \mathrm{H}^{+}(\mathrm{aq})+4 \mathrm{e} \] Total charges passing through the solution \(=3 \times 10 \times 60 \mathrm{c}=1800 \mathrm{c}\)…
