108 gof silver (molar mass108 gmol-1) is deposited at cathode fromAgNO3aqsolution by a certain quantity of electricity. The volume (inL) of oxygen gas produced at273 Kand1bar pressure from water by the same quantity of electricity is ________

Answer:
5.66
Solution:

nAgdeposit=108108=mole
Ag++e-Ag
1F charge is required to deposit 1 mole of Ag
H2O 12O2+2H++2e-
2F charge is required to deposit 12mole
1F charge will deposit 14mole of O 2   gas.
VO2=nRTP
=14×0.0821×2731=14×22.4
VO2=5.6 L

Faraday's second law of electrolysis states that, when the same quantity of electricity is passed through several electrolytes, the mass of the substances deposited are proportional to their respective equivalent weight.
