The electolysis of acetate solution produces ethane according to reaction:
`2CH_3COO^-)toC_6H6(g)+2CO_2(g)+2e^-`
The current efficiency of the process is 80% . What volume of gases would be produced at `27^(@)` C and 740 torr, if the current of 0.5 amp is used though the solution for 96.45 min?

A

`6.0L`

B

`0.60 L`

C

`1.365 L`

D

`0.91 L`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Equivalents of `CO_(2)` produced `=((Ixx eta)xxt)/(96500)`
`=(0.5xx0.8xx96.5xx60)/(96500)=0.024`
moles of `CO_(2)(n=1)` produced `= 0.024`
moles of `C_(2)H_(6)(n=2)` produced `=(0.024)/(2)=0.012`
Total moles of gases produced `rArr 0.036`
`V_("gases")=(nRT)/(P)=(0.036xx0.0821xx300)/(((740)/(760)))`
