Step 1
Step 1: Write the balanced chemical equation for the electrolysis of water, which is part of the dilute \( \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4} \) solution: \[ 2 \mathrm{H}_{2}\mathrm{O} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}_{2} + \mathrm{O}_{2} \] Show more…

In the electrolysis of an acid solution, oxygen can be produced by the following half-reaction: 2H2O(l) → O2(g) + 4H+(aq) + 4e^- How many moles of O2 can be produced from a solution that was electrolyzed for 7.00 h using a current of 6.40 A? 1.16 × 10^-4 mol 3.89 × 10^9 mol 2.59 × 10^8 mol 0.418 mol 1.67 mol

2H+ + 2e- → H2 n=2 (# of e- involved) How long must a current of 0.25 A pass through a sulfuric acid solution to liberate 0.400 L of H2 gas at STP? H2 ; n = PV / RT = (1 atm / 0.400 L) / (0.0821 L-atm / K-mol ∙ 273 K) = 0.0179 mol
