A current of 10 ampere is passed for 80 minutes 27 seconds through a cell containing dilute H2SO4 : - How many moles of oxygen gas is liberated at anode?
- Calculate the amount of zinc deposited at the cathode when another cell containing ZnSO4 solution is connected in series ?
Current, I = 10 A
Time, t = 80 min and 27 second
= (80 60) + 27
= 4827 seconds
Charge, Q = I t
Q = 10 4827
= 48270 F
Now in electrolysis of H2SO4, H2 and O2 liberated as follows:
At cathode:
2H+ + 2e- → H2
At anode:
2H2O → O2 + 4H+ + 4e-
4F liberate 1 mole of Oxygen gas or 32 g of Oxygen.
4F or 496500 C will liberate 32 g of Oxygen gas
48270 C will liberate
= 4 g of Oxygen gas
(ii) Reaction of Zic is as foloows:
Zn2+ + 2e- → Zn
2F of electricity willl liberate 1 mole of Zinc or 65 g of Zinc.
296500 C liberate 65 g of Zinc
48270 C will liberate
= 16.25 g
Time, t = 80 min and 27 second
= (80 60) + 27
= 4827 seconds
Charge, Q = I t
Q = 10 4827
= 48270 F
Now in electrolysis of H2SO4, H2 and O2 liberated as follows:
At cathode:
2H+ + 2e- → H2
At anode:
2H2O → O2 + 4H+ + 4e-
4F liberate 1 mole of Oxygen gas or 32 g of Oxygen.
4F or 496500 C will liberate 32 g of Oxygen gas
48270 C will liberate
= 4 g of Oxygen gas

296500 C liberate 65 g of Zinc

= 16.25 g
