How many hours does it take to form 15.0 L of Oz measured at 750 torr and 30°C from water by passing 1.15 A of current through an
electrolytic cell?

55.7 hrs

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole of O2 produced during the process. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume (V) = 15L

Pressure (P) = 750torr = 750/760 = 0.99atm

Temperature (T) = 30°C = 30°C + 273 = 303K

Gas constant (R) = 0.0821 atm.L/Kmol

Number of mole (n) =?

PV = nRT

0.99 x 15 = n x 0.0821 x 303

Divide both side by 0.0821 x 303

n = (0.99 x 15 ) /(0.0821 x 303)

n = 0.597 mole

Next, we shall determine the quantity of electricity required to liberate 1 mole of O2. This is illustrated below:

2O^2- + 4e —> O2

Thus, 4 moles of electron (e) is needed to produce 1 mole of O2.

Recall:

1 electron (e) = 1 Faraday = 96500C

1e = 96500C

Therefore, 4e = 4 x 96500C = 386000C.

Therefore, 386000C of electricity is required to liberate 1 mole of O2.

Next, we shall determine the quantity of electricity required to liberate 0.597 mole of O2.

This is illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

386000C of electricity is required to liberate 1 mole of O2.

Therefore, XC of electricity will be required to liberate 0.597 mole of O2 i.e

XC of electricity = 386000 x 0.597

XC of electricity = 230442C

Therefore, 230442C of electricity is needed to liberate 0.597 mole of O2.

Now, we can obtain the time taken to produce 0.597 mole of O2 as follow:

Current (I) = 1.15A

Quantity of electricity (Q) = 230442C

Time (t) =.?

Q = It

230442 = 1.15 x t

Divide both side by 1.15

t = 230442/1.15

t = 200384.35 secs

Finally, we shall convert 200384.35 secs to hours. This is illustrated below:

3600 secs = 1 hr

Therefore, 200384.35 secs = 200384.35/3600 = 55.7 hrs

Therefore, it will take 55.7 hrs to produce 15L of O2.

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.
