100 mL of buf...

Question

100 mL of buffer of 1 M $N H_{3} (a q)$ and 1 M $N H_{4}^{\oplus} (a q)$ are placed in two compartments of a voltaic cell separately. A current of 1.5 A is passed through both cells for 20 min. If only electrolysis of water takes place, then:

A

pH of LHE half cell will increase

Solution

The correct option is B pH of RHE half cell will increase
Cathode (RHE) L $2 H_{2} O (l) + 2 e^{-} \to H_{2} (g) + 2 ⊖ O H (a q)$
Anode (LHE) : $2 H_{2} O (l) \to O_{2} (g) + 4 H^{\oplus} (a q) + 4 e^{-}$ In RHE, $⊖ O H$ will be produced which will react with $N H_{4}^{\oplus} (s a l t)$ to form $N H_{4} O H (b a s e)$ , causing pOH to decrease or pH to increase.
In LHE, $H^{\oplus}$ will be produced with will react with $N H_{4} O H$ (base)
to form $N H_{4}^{\oplus}$ (salt), causing pOH to increase or pH to decrease.
