Detailed Solution

  • When dilute aqueous solution is electrolysed, at cathode, Hydrogen gas and at anode, Oxygen gas are liberated. 
  • 2H2O+2 e- H2.
  • For liberation of 1 mole of H2, 2 moles of e- are required .
  • 0.01 moles of H2 will require 2 X 0.01 = 0.02 moles of electrons or 0.02 faradays.
  • Charge required = i X t
  • Time (t ) = Charge Current
  • i= 10 mill ampere = 10 X 10-3 ampere.
  • t= 0.02 X 9650010X 10-3=19.3 X 104 seconds.
