The electolysis of acetate solution produces ethane according to reaction: `2CH_3COO^-)toC_6H6(g)+2CO_2(g)+2e^-` The current efficiency of the process is 80% . What volume of gases would be produced at `27^(@)` C and 740 torr, if the current of 0.5 amp is used though the solution for 96.45 min?A. `6.0L`B. `0.60 L`C. `1.365 L`D. `0.91 L`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Equivalents of `CO_(2)` produced `=((Ixx eta)xxt)/(96500)`
`=(0.5xx0.8xx96.5xx60)/(96500)=0.024`
moles of `CO_(2)(n=1)` produced `= 0.024`
moles of `C_(2)H_(6)(n=2)` produced `=(0.024)/(2)=0.012`
Total moles of gases produced `rArr 0.036`
`V_("gases")=(nRT)/(P)=(0.036xx0.0821xx300)/(((740)/(760)))`
