Question

State True or False.

The ratio of gases liberated at cathode and anode during electrolysis of CH${}_3$COONa(aq) is 1 : 3.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The given statement is True.
The ratio of gases liberated at cathode and anode during electrolysis of $C{H}_{3}COONa$ (aq) is $1:3$
$2C{H}_{3}COONa\to C{H}_3-C{H}_3\uparrow +2C{O}_2\uparrow +2NaOH+H_2\uparrow$
hydrogen gas is liberated at cathode and ethane and carbon dioxide gases are liberated at anode.
