Question:

A dilute solution of sulphuric acid is electrolysed using a current of 0.10 A for 2 hours to produce hydrogen and oxygen gas. The total volume of gases produced at STP is ____ cm3. (Nearest integer) 

[Given : Faraday constant F = 96500 C mol–1 at STP, molar volume of an ideal gas is 22.7 L mol–1]

Correct Answer: 127

Solution and Explanation

The correct answer is: 127 cm3
2 F produces = \(\frac{3}{2}\) mole of gas
0.10 ×2 × 3600 coulomb produces
\(=\frac{\frac{3}{2}×0.1×2×3600}{2×96500}\)
= 0.0056 moles of gas
= 0.0056 × 22.7 L
≃ 0.127 L
= 127 mL

Solutions

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is smaller than 1 nm.

For example, salt and sugar is a good illustration of a solution. A solution can be categorized into several components.

Types of Solutions:

The solutions can be classified into three types:

  • Solid Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Solid-state.
  • Liquid Solutions- In these solutions, the solvent is in a Liquid state.
  • Gaseous Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Gaseous state.

On the basis of the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, solutions are divided into the following types:

  1. Unsaturated Solution- A solution in which more solute can be dissolved without raising the temperature of the solution is known as an unsaturated solution.
  2. Saturated Solution- A solution in which no solute can be dissolved after reaching a certain amount of temperature is known as an unsaturated saturated solution.
  3. Supersaturated Solution- A solution that contains more solute than the maximum amount at a certain temperature is known as a supersaturated solution.
