Correct answer: 5.66TO5.68

  1. Find moles of silver deposited

Given mass of silver deposited = 108 g108\,\text{g}108g and molar mass of silver = 108 g mol−1108\,\text{g mol}^{-1}108g mol−1.

n(Ag)=108108=1 moln(Ag)=\frac{108}{108}=1\,\text{mol}n(Ag)=108108​=1mol

  1. Find charge required for silver deposition

At cathode:

Ag++e−→AgAg^+ + e^- \rightarrow AgAg++e−→Ag

So, 111 mol of AgAgAg requires 111 mol of electrons.

Hence, the quantity of electricity used corresponds to:

1 mol e−=1 F1\,\text{mol } e^- = 1\,F1mol e−=1F

  1. Relate same charge to oxygen production from water

Oxygen is produced at anode by oxidation of water:

2H2O→O2+4H++4e−2H_2O \rightarrow O_2 + 4H^+ + 4e^-2H2​O→O2​+4H++4e−

From the equation, 444 mol electrons produce 111 mol O2O_2O2​.

Therefore, with 111 mol electrons:

n(O2)=14 moln(O_2)=\frac{1}{4}\,\text{mol}n(O2​)=41​mol

  1. Calculate volume of oxygen at 273 K and 1 bar

At 273 K273\,\text{K}273K and 1 bar1\,\text{bar}1bar, molar volume of an ideal gas is approximately:

22.71 L mol−122.71\,\text{L mol}^{-1}22.71L mol−1

So,

V(O2)=14×22.71V(O_2)=\frac{1}{4}\times 22.71V(O2​)=41​×22.71

V(O2)=5.6775 LV(O_2)=5.6775\,\text{L}V(O2​)=5.6775L

Thus, the required volume is approximately:

5.68 L\boxed{5.68\,\text{L}}5.68L​

  1. Comparison with stored correct answer

Stored correct answer: 5.665.665.66 to 5.685.685.68

Our derived answer 5.68 L5.68\,\text{L}5.68L lies within this range, so it agrees.
