During the electrolysis of water 4 mol of electrons were transferred from anode to cathode. The total volume of gases produced at STP will be approximately

A

1 mole

B

2 moles

C

`(1)/(3)` mole

D

`(2)/(3)` mole.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`H_(2)OrarrH_(2)+1//2O_(2)`
1 mole of water gives on electrolysis `(3)/(2)` moles of gases
`therefore ` To produce 1 mole of gases water electrolysed `=(2)/(3)` mol
