Solution

Number of moles of Ag(s) gets deposited,
nAg=108108=1mol

Ag++1eAg(s)

1 F charge is required for 1 mol of Ag

Electrolysis of water:
Oxidation reaction,
H2O12O2+2H++2e

12mole of O2 liberated from 2 F charge.
Thus,
14mole of O2 liberated from 1 F charge.

By gas law,
PV=n R T

V=14×0.083×2731

V=5.675 L
