in the electrolysis of water, how long will it take to produce 235.0 l of h2 at 1.0 atm and 273 k using an electrolytic cell through which the current is 221.0 ma? 1st attempt see hint hours

Sagot :

In the electrolysis of water, will it take to produce 235.0 l of H₂ at 1.0 atm and 273 k using an electrolytic cell through which the current is 221.0 mA is 25448 hour.

The ideal gas equation is given as :  

P V = n RT

pressure , P = 1 atm

volume , V = 235.0 L

temperature , T = 273 K

gas constant, R = 0.082 atm L /mol K

n = P V / R T

n = (1 × 235 ) / ( 273 × 0.082)

n = 10.49 mol

the reaction is given as :

2H⁺  +   2e⁻  ---->  H₂

number of electrons = 2

1 mole of electron = 96500 C

10.49 of electron = 10.49 × 2 × 96500

                         =  2024570 C

I = 221 mA = 0.221 C/s

q = It

t = q / I

t = 2024570 / 0.221

t = 9160950 s

t = 25448 hour

Thus, in the electrolysis of water, the tike taken is 25448 hour.
