    In the electrolysis of water, one faraday of electrical energy would evolve :

    A)  one mole of oxygen

    B)         one gram atom of oxygen

    C)         8 g of oxygen

    D)         22.4 Lot oxygen

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Hydrolysis of water can be represented by the following equations? \[2{{H}_{2}}O\rightleftharpoons {{O}_{2}}+4{{H}^{+}}+4{{e}^{-}}\] \[\because \] 4 faraday of charge liberate \[{{O}_{2}}=32\,g\] \[\therefore \] 1 faraday of charge liberate \[{{O}_{2}}=\frac{32}{4}=8g\]
