The volume of chlorine gas measured at STP will be liberated by a current of 2.5 A flowing for a period of 1.8 hours through an aqueous solution of AgCl is 1.88 litre.
<h3>What is Faraday's law ?</h3>
According to Faraday's Law , During Electrolysis , The amount of substance liberated at the cathode or anode is directly proportional to the electricity that is passed through the cell.
The reaction taking place at anode is:
2Cl → Cl₂ +2e −
The total charge is calculated as
Q=I×t= 2.5×1.8×60×60 coulomb
Q = 16200 coulomb
The amount of chlorine liberated by passing 16200 coulomb of electric charge
= 16200/(2*96500)
= 0.084 mole
Volume of Cl₂ at STP is
1 mole at STP has 22.4 L of Gas
0.084 mole of Cl₂ at STP will be equal to 22.4 *0.084 = 1.88 litre of Cl₂
