Three electrolytic cells containing aqueous , aqueous and dilute , all with platinum electrodes, are connected in series and of charge is passed. Take Ag = 108, Cu = 63.5, molar volume at STP . Which statements are correct?

  1. A of silver is deposited in the first cell
  2. BAbout of copper is deposited in the second cell
  3. C of at STP is liberated at the anode of the third cell
  4. D of at STP is liberated at the cathode of the third cell

Answer: A, B, D

The same of electrons passes through each cell. Silver: ; (A) correct. Copper: ; (B) correct. Hydrogen (): ; (D) correct. Oxygen (): , so (C) is wrong.
