Detailed Solution

Quantity of electricity passed , Q=It=(0.75×5×60)C

Amount o electricity passed n=QF=0.75×5×6096500mol

The reaction at anode is 2H2O(l)4H+(aq)+O2(g)+4e

Thus, 4 mol of electrons causes the release of 1 mol of O2 (= 22.414 Lat STP). Hence, for the amount n of electricity, volume of O2 released will be

V=140.75×5×6096500mol22.414 L mol1=0.01306 L=13.06 mL
