How muchmuch hydrogen gas evolvedwhen 1.5 current is passed through water for 1.5 hours?
1 answer:
0.042 moles of Hydrogen evolved
<h3>Further explanation</h3>Given
I = 1.5 A
t = 1.5 hr = 5400 s
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:
moles of glucose
<u>2.3166 moles of glucose</u>
<u></u>
Explanation:
The balance reaction for the formation of glucose is :
here , CO2 = carbon dioxide
H2O = water
C6H12O6 = glucose
O2 = Oxygen
According to this equation :
6 mole of CO2 = 6 mole of H2O = 1 mole of C6H12O6 = 6 mole of O2
We are asked to calculate the mole of Glucose from carbon dioxide.
So,
6 mole of CO2 produce = 1 mole of C6H12O6
1 mole of CO2 will produce =
moles of glucose
13.9 moles of CO2 will produce :
=2.3166 moles of glucose
Note : first , Always calculate for one mole (By dividing)
. After this , multiply the answer with the moles given.
Always write the substance whose amount is asked(glucose) to the right hand side
