How much charge (in F) must flow through...

How much charge (in F) must flow through solution during electrolysis of aq. `Na_(2)SO_(4)` at `STP` to produce `33.6 L` of product gases at `50%` current efficiency:

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
4
`H_(2)O overset(2F)rarr H_(2) +(1)/(2)O_(2)`
`V V//2`
`(3)/(2)V = 33.6 L`
`rArr V = 22.4 L`
let passed charge `= Q`
`Q xx (50)/(100) = 2F rArr Q = 4F`

100mL CuSO_(4)(aq) was electrolyzed using inert electrodes by passing 0.965A till the pH of the resulting solution was 1. The solution after electrolysis was neutralized, treated with excess KI and titrated with 0.04M Na_(2)S_(2)O_(3) . Volume of Na_(2)S_(2)O_(3) required was 35mL . Assuming no volume change during electrolysis, calculate: (a) duration of electrolysis if current efficiency is 80% (b) initial concentration (M) of CuSO_(4) .

Hydrogen peroxide can be prepared by successive reaction: 2NH_(4)HSO_(4) rarr H_(2)+(NH_(4))_(2)S_(2)O_(8) (NH_(4))_(2)S_(2)O_(8)+2H_(2)O rarr 2NH_(4)HSO_(4)+H_(2)O_(2) The first reaction is an electrolytic reaction the second is steam distillation. what amount ofcurrent would have to be used in first reaction to produce enough intermediate to yield 100g pure H_(2)O_(2) per hour ? Assume 50% anode current efficiency.

One litre each of a Buffer solution is taken in two beakers connected through a salt bridge. Platinum electrode is immersed in each beaker and electrolysis is carried out for 10,000 sec. using a current of 9.65 Ampere.
