How long (approximate) should water be electrolysed by passing through 100 amperes current so that the oxygen released can completely burn 27.66 g of diborane?
(Atomic weight of B=10.8 u)

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

B2H6+3O2B2O3+3H2O
According to balanced equation
27.66 gB2H6i.e. 1 moleB2H6requires 3 mole ofO2. Now this oxygen is produced by electrolysis of water as follows
2H2O4F2H2+O2
As 1 moleO2is produced by 4 F charge
So 3 moleO2will be produced by 12 F charge
So now on applying
Q=It
12×96500C=100×t(s)
t=12×96500100×3600hours
t=3.2hours
