Electrolysis of an acetate solution produces ethane according to the Kolbe reaction : 2CH_(3)COO^(-) rarr C_(2)H_(6)+2CO_(2)+2e^(-) What volume of ethane is produced at 27^(@)C and 740 mm Hg, If a current of 0.5 ampere were passed through the solution for 7 hours and the electrode reaction is 82% efficient?
H_2 (g) and O_2 (g), can be produced by the electrolysis of water. What total volume (in L) of O_2 and H_2 are produced at 1 atm and 273K when a current of 30 A is passed through a K_2SO_4 (aq) solution for 193 min?
A chemist wants to produce Cl_(2)(g) from molten NaCl. How many grams could be produced if the uses a steady current of 1 amp for 5.0 minutes ?
Electrolysis of aq. Solution of CH_(3)COOK is caried out. If 2 amp current is passed for 402 minutes. What volume (at STP) of gases could be produced if current efficiency is 80% (assume no absorption of gases)
At 27^(@) C , the combustion of ethane takes place according to the reaction C_(2) H_(6)(g) + 7/2O_(2)(g) rightarrow 2CO_(3)(g) + 3H_(2)O(l) Delta E - Delta H for this reaction at 27^(@)C will be
