The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of determining the volume of hydrogen gas produced at STP from the electrolysis of \( H^+ \) ions when 4.5 g of aluminum is deposited, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the equivalent weight of aluminum The equivalent weight of a substance can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Equivalent weight} = \frac{\text{Atomic weight}}{n} \] where \( n \) is the number of electrons transferred per atom during the reaction. For aluminum (\( Al^{3+} \)): - Atomic weight of aluminum = 27 g/mol - \( n \) (number of electrons gained) = 3 Thus, the equivalent weight of aluminum is: \[ \text{Equivalent weight of Al} = \frac{27}{3} = 9 \text{ g/equiv} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the mass of hydrogen produced using Faraday's second law According to Faraday's second law of electrolysis: \[ \frac{\text{Mass of Al deposited}}{\text{Mass of H produced}} = \frac{\text{Equivalent weight of Al}}{\text{Equivalent weight of H}} \] Let \( m_H \) be the mass of hydrogen produced. The equivalent weight of hydrogen (\( H_2 \)) is calculated as follows: - Atomic weight of \( H_2 \) = 2 g/mol - \( n \) (number of electrons gained) = 2 (since \( 2H^+ + 2e^- \rightarrow H_2 \)) Thus, the equivalent weight of hydrogen is: \[ \text{Equivalent weight of H}_2 = \frac{2}{2} = 1 \text{ g/equiv} \] Now substituting the values into Faraday's equation: \[ \frac{4.5 \text{ g}}{m_H} = \frac{9}{1} \] Cross-multiplying gives: \[ 4.5 = 9 \cdot m_H \] Solving for \( m_H \): \[ m_H = \frac{4.5}{9} = 0.5 \text{ g} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the volume of hydrogen gas at STP At STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure), 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 L. Since 2 g of \( H_2 \) is 1 mole, we can find the volume of 0.5 g of \( H_2 \) as follows: \[ \text{Volume of } H_2 = \frac{22.4 \text{ L}}{2 \text{ g}} \times 0.5 \text{ g} = 5.6 \text{ L} \] ### Final Answer The volume of hydrogen gas produced at STP is: \[ \text{Volume of } H_2 = 5.6 \text{ L} \] Thus, the correct answer is option D: 5.6 L.
