Concept introduction:
Electrolysis of aqueous sulfuric acid i.e. acidified water resulted in the production of oxygen and hydrogen gas, which will be liberated at the anode and cathode respectively. The presence of H+ and SO-4 made the solution to be more conductivity. SO-4 is more stable to be inert at the anode.
Further the cell reaction can be written as shown below
Since volume and pressure of oxygen produced was given, by applying it into ideal gas equation we can calculate the number of mole of oxygen produced
The ideal gas equation can be given as follows.
On applying the number of moles of oxygen produced into stoichiometry of the reaction, the number of moles electron involved in the reaction can be calculated. In case of the given reaction 4 mole of electron was liberated during the production of one mole of oxygen. Since one Faraday is equal to one mole of electron, so 4 Faraday of electricity will be needed to produce one mole of oxygen.
Finally the Faraday of electricity utilized to produce the required amount of oxygen can be calculated according the formula
To find: Amount of Faraday of electricity need to produce 0.076L of O2 with pressure 755mmHg, at 298K, through electrolysis of water.
