Statement -1 : During the electrolysis of water, two faraday of charge will produce a total of 33.6 litre of gases at STP at electrodes.
Statement -2 : In the electrolysis of water, two faraday of charge will produce half mole of `H_(2)` gas and one fourth mole of `O_(2)` gas.

Options

A. Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is true, statement 2 is a correct explanation for statement 1
B. Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is true, statement 2 is not a correct explanation for statement 1
C. Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is false
D. statement 1 is false,statement 2 is true

Answer

C

Explanation

2 faraday charge will release 22.4 litre `H_(2) an 11.2` litre `O_(2)` at S.T.P. during the electrolysis of water.
`V_(eq)(H_(2))=11.2L` at S.T.P.
`V_(eq)(O_(2))=5.6L` at S.T.P.
Total volume liberated by 2 faraday cahrge
`=2xx11.2+2xx5.6`
`=33.6L ` at S.T.P.
