Dear Student,

The solution to your question is as follows:
22400 mL of hydrogen = 1 mole = 2 gSo, 112 mL of hydrogen contains = 2x11222400=10-2gNow, 2H+ + 2e- →H2By Faraday's LawnF=1 molSo, 2 g is deposited by 2x 96500 C0
2 g will be deposited by 2 x 96500 x 10-22=965 CCurrent = Charge time=965 C965 s=1 A

Thus, the current passed is 1 A

Hope it helps
