Detailed Solution

Charge passed through the solution =20×48×60×60=3.456×106 coulombs

(1) Cathode reaction: 2H++2e=H2

 Weight of H2 liberated at cathode =3.456×106×22×965×102=35.81gms

(2) Correct electrode reaction at anode:

H2O=2H++12O2+2e

(3)  E.C.E. of O2=324×96,500=8.3×105gms coulomb1

(4) Number of electrons passing through cell

=3.456×106×6.0×102396,500=2.15×1025
