Solution

The correct option is C 4.0 g
Given :
Current, I =9.65 ATime, t =1000 s

By Faraday's First law,
The mass deposited/released of any substance during electrolysis is proportional to the amount of charge passed into the electrolyte.

WQ
W=ZQ
where,

W: Mass deposited or liberated
Q: Amount of charge passed
Z: Electrochemical equivalent of the substance
Since,
Z=E96500

W=E96500×Q
where,
E is Equivalent mass
E=Molecular Massnfactor

Na++OHNaOH
Molecular mass of NaOH is 40 g mol1
n-factor the reaction is 1

E=401

Charge, Q =I×t
Q=9.65×1000
Hence,
W=Z×i×t
W=E96500×9.65×1000

W=(401)96500×9.65×1000
W=4 g
