Required
Number of Hydrogen evolved
Solution
Electrolysis of water ⇒ decomposition reaction of water into Oxygen and Hydrogen gas.
Cathode(reduction-negative pole) : 2H₂O(l)+2e⁻ ⇒ H₂(g)+2OH⁻(aq)
Anode(oxidation-positive pole) : 2H₂O(l)⇒O₂(g)+4H⁻(aq)+4e⁻
Total reaction : 2H₂O(l)⇒2H₂(g)+O₂(g)
So at the cathode H₂ gas is produced
Faraday : 1 mole of electrons (e⁻) contains a charge of 96,500 C
Q = i.t
Q = 1.5 x 5400
Q = 8100 C
mol e⁻ = 8100 : 96500 = 0.084
From equation at cathode , mol ratio e⁻ : H₂ = 2 : 1, so mol H₂ = 0.042
Answer:
See explaination
Explanation:
Hydrophobic literally means “the fear of water”. Hydrophobic molecules and surfaces repel water. Hydrophobic liquids, such as oil, will separate from water. Hydrophobic molecules are usually nonpolar, meaning the atoms that make the molecule do not produce a static electric field.
