Correct answer: 5.66TO5.68
- Find moles of silver deposited
Given mass of silver deposited = and molar mass of silver = .
- Find charge required for silver deposition
At cathode:
So, mol of requires mol of electrons.
Hence, the quantity of electricity used corresponds to:
- Relate same charge to oxygen production from water
Oxygen is produced at anode by oxidation of water:
From the equation, mol electrons produce mol .
Therefore, with mol electrons:
- Calculate volume of oxygen at 273 K and 1 bar
At and , molar volume of an ideal gas is approximately:
So,
Thus, the required volume is approximately:
- Comparison with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer: to
Our derived answer lies within this range, so it agrees.
