Solution

The correct option is C 2463
Given: I=1.0×103A
t=9.65h=9.65×60×60s
ECl=35.5

W=ItE96500
=1.0×103×9.65×60×60×35.596500
=12.78×103g
For Cl271g occupies 22.4L
12.78×103g occupies 12.78×103×22.471=4032L
P1V1T1=P2V2T2
1×4032273=1.8×V2300
V2=2461L
Cell reaction is 2NaCl2Na(s)+Cl2(g)
Volume of chlorine produced= 2461L
