Q.
During the preparation of H2S2O8 (per disulphuric acid) O2 gas is also released at anode as byproduct. When 9.72L of H2 releases at cathode and 2.35LO2 at anode, the weight H2S2O8 produced in gram is
2HSO4−→H2S2O8+2e 2O2−→O2+4e 22.42.35=0.1050.42 mole 2H++2e→H2 0.87 mole 22.49.72 mole
mole of e for H2S2O8=0.87−0.42=0.45 mole ∴ mole of H2S2O8=0.225 mole =43.65 g
