AIPMT PRELIMS 2006 Physics Electrolysis MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

In producing chlorine through electrolysis 100 W power at 125 V is being consumed. How much chlorine per min is liberated? ECE of chlorine is 0.367 × 10⁻⁶ kg/C:

A

17.6 mg

B

34.3 mg

C

24.3 mg

D

39.6 mg

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The amount of chlorine liberated can be calculated using the formula: mass = ECE × current × time. The current is calculated as power/voltage = 100/125 Å. Substituting the values gives the mass of chlorine liberated.
