Question

An electric current is passed through two electrolytic cells connected in series, one containing AgNO3(aq) and other H2SO4(aq). The volume of O2 (in litres) measured at 25oC and 750 mm Hg would be liberated in litre from H2SO4, if 1 mole of Ag+ are deposited from AgNO3.
(Round off to integer)

Solution

Equivalent of O2 = Equivalent of Ag
or mO2/8 = 1 ( 1 mole of Ag =1 eq. of Ag)
mO2 = 8g
Using gas equation for volume of O2, at T=298 K,P=750760 atm

750760×VO2=832×0.0821×298

VO2 =6.20 litres.
Therefore the answer is 6.
