(g)
At N.T.P, 22.4 L (or 22400 mL) of H 2
= 1 mole of H 2
112 mL of H
2 = 22400112
×1=0.005 mole of H 2Moles of H 2
produced =
96500(C/mole − )I(A)×t(s) × mole ratio
0.005mol= 96500(C/mole − )
I(A)×965s × 2 mol e
− 1 mol H 2
I=1A
2...During electrolysis of acidified water using carbon electrodes, O2− ions are oxidized at the positive carbon electrode (anode) and thus oxygen gas is liberated at anode..
3--There are two electrodes in an electrolysis solution: the positive and the negative electrode. ... Positively charged ions (metals and hydrogen), are attracted to the negative electrode (the cathode), where they receive electrons (a process known as oxidation)..
