The solution calculates the charge required in the electrolysis of water.

Solution Preview

A) What charge was required?

The molar volume of any gas at STP is 22.4 L
Therefore 11.2 L of Oxygen at STP = 1/2 mole

1 molecule of Oxygen requires 4 electrons
Therefore 1 /2 mole of Oxygen requires 4 x 1/2 x 1 mole of electrons
1 mole of electrons= 96500 C

Therefore charge required= 193,000 C =4*1/2 * ...
