The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these calculations: ### Step 1: Calculate the moles of silver deposited Given: - Mass of silver (Ag) = 108 g - Molar mass of silver (Ag) = 108 g/mol Using the formula for moles: \[ \text{Moles of Ag} = \frac{\text{Mass of Ag}}{\text{Molar mass of Ag}} = \frac{108 \, \text{g}}{108 \, \text{g/mol}} = 1 \, \text{mol} \] ### Step 2: Determine the charge required to deposit silver The reaction for the deposition of silver is: \[ \text{Ag}^+ + e^- \rightarrow \text{Ag} \] From this reaction, we see that 1 mole of silver requires 1 mole of electrons (1 Faraday, F). ### Step 3: Relate the charge to the production of oxygen gas The reaction for the electrolysis of water is: \[ 2 \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{O}_2 + 4 \text{H}^+ + 4 e^- \] From this reaction, we can see that: - 4 moles of electrons produce 1 mole of oxygen gas (O₂). - Therefore, 1 mole of electrons will produce \(\frac{1}{4}\) mole of O₂. ### Step 4: Calculate the moles of oxygen produced Since we have 1 mole of electrons (from the deposition of 1 mole of Ag), the moles of O₂ produced will be: \[ \text{Moles of O}_2 = \frac{1 \, \text{mol of electrons}}{4} = \frac{1}{4} \, \text{mol} \] ### Step 5: Use the ideal gas law to find the volume of oxygen Using the ideal gas law: \[ PV = nRT \] Where: - \(P = 1 \, \text{bar} = 1 \, \text{atm}\) (since 1 bar ≈ 1 atm) - \(n = \frac{1}{4} \, \text{mol}\) - \(R = 0.0821 \, \text{L atm K}^{-1} \text{mol}^{-1}\) - \(T = 273 \, \text{K}\) Substituting the values into the ideal gas equation: \[ V = \frac{nRT}{P} = \frac{\left(\frac{1}{4} \, \text{mol}\right) \times (0.0821 \, \text{L atm K}^{-1} \text{mol}^{-1}) \times (273 \, \text{K})}{1 \, \text{atm}} \] Calculating this gives: \[ V = \frac{(0.25) \times (0.0821) \times (273)}{1} = 5.675 \, \text{L} \] ### Final Answer The volume of oxygen gas produced at 273 K and 1 bar pressure is **5.675 L**. ---
