JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2018 - 15th April Morning Slot - No. 13)

When an electric currents passed through acidified water, 112 mL of hydrogen gas at N.T.P. was collected at the cathode in 965 seconds. The current passed, in ampere, is :
1.0
0.5
0.1
2.0

Explanation

Reaction at cathode :

2H+ + 2e$$-$$ $$ \to $$ H2

We know,

$$\omega $$ = zIt = $${{EIt} \over {96500}}$$
<
no. of moles of H2 = $${{112} \over {22400}}$$

$$\therefore\,\,\,$$ mass (w) of H2 = $${{112} \over {22400}}$$ $$ \times $$ 2

$$\therefore\,\,\,\,$$ $${{112} \over {22400}}$$ $$ \times $$ 2 = $${{1 \times I \times 965} \over {96500}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$$$\,\,\,\,$$ $$I$$ = 1 A
