  4. D \(50\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(5.0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Electrolysis of water takes place as follows \[ \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \rightleftharpoons \underset{\text { cathode }}{\mathrm{H}^{+}}+\underset{\text { anode }}{\mathrm{OH}^{-}} \] At anode…
