Oxygen Supply in Submarines Nuclear submarines can stay under water nearly indefinitely because they can produce their own oxygen by electrolysis of water. How many liters of O2 at 298 K and 1.00 bar are produced in 1.00 hr in an electrolytic cell operating at a current of 0.0200 A?

1.865 * 10^-4 L

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is:

4OH^-(aq) >2H2O(l) + O2(g) + 4e

Since one mole of oxygen which occupies 22.4 L is produced in the electrolysis of water by 4 Faraday of electricity as shown in the equation above;

Then;

4 * 96500 C liberates 22.4 L of oxygen

60 * 60 * 0.0200 C will liberate 60 * 60 * 0.0200 *  22.4/4 * 96500

= 1.865 * 10^-4 L
