If the coulombs are supplied at 1.44 V, then 4.766 × 10¹¹ joules are produced.
(a) The reaction is
2H₂O + 2e⁻ → H₂ + 2OH⁻
According to the reaction, 2 moles of electrons flow per mole of reaction,
(b) Given
T = 25°C
Change Celsius into Kelvin
T = 25°C
= (25 + 273 ) K
= 298 K
<h3>What is Ideal Gas Law ?</h3>It is expressed as
PV = nRT
Hence ,
n =
=
= 1.7176 ×10⁶ mole
Now, From the given reaction we can say that ,1 mole of H₂ is produced by 2 moles of electron
Hence, 1.7176 × 10⁶ mole of H₂ is produced by
= 2 × 1.7176 × 10⁶ moles of electron
= 3.435 ×10⁶ moles of electron
We know that
charge = moles of electron × F
= (3.435 ×10⁶ × 96500) C
= 3.31 × 10¹¹ C
(c) We know that,
Voltage = =
1.44 V =
Energy = 1.44 V × 3.31 × 10¹¹ C
= 4.766 × 10¹¹ Joules
Thus from the above conclusion we can say that, coulombs are supplied at 1.44 V, then 4.766 × 10¹¹ joules are produced.
