Chapter 18.7, Problem 18.7.2SR

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The time required to produce $5.00L$ of $O_2$ at STP in an electrolytic cell has to be determined.

Concept introduction:

• Electrolysis: A nonspontaneous redox reaction drove by using electric energy. Electrolytic cells are the electrochemical cell which used for electrolysis. Electrolysis is used for the separation of compounds to its corresponding elements, for the separation and purification of metals and for recharging the lead storage battery.
• Ideal gas law

$\begin{array}{c}\text{PV}\text{=}\text{nRT}\\ \text{where, T}\text{=}\text{Temperature}\\ \text{P}\text{=}\text{Pressure}\\ \text{V}\text{=}\text{Volume}\\ \text{n}\text{=}\text{number of moles}\\ \text{R}\text{=}\text{Gas constant}\end{array}$
