1. Would an increase in the concentration of the sulfuric acidincrease the rate

Question

1. Would an increase in the concentration of the sulfuric acidincrease the rate of hydrogen production? Explain 2. Why are different products obtained when molten and aqueousNaCl are electrolyzed? Predict the products in each case.
THE EXPERIMENT WAS.... Obtain a DC source with an attached ammeter. Add 100 mL ofdistilled water and 50 mL of dilute sulfuric acid to a 50 mLbeaker. Stir. Fill a 50 mL buret with solution and invert holdingin place with a ring stand and clamp. Attach copper wire cathode tothe negative terminal of the DC source and place the other enduninsulated into the inverted mouth of the buret. The anodeelectrode should be hung over the edge of the beaker and immersedin the acid solution with the other end attached to the positiveelectrode of the DC source. Record the time, turn on the DC source and record the ammeterreading. During electrolysis be careful not to move the electrodesb/c this may change the current. Continue the electrolysis until atleast 20 mL of hydrogen has been collected. Measure volume of H2collected. Measure height of water column in buret above solution inbeaker. Also measure the emperature of the acid solution and obtainthe barometric pressure and the vapor pressure of water at tesolution temperature.

Explanation / Answer

the second question goes to a different experiment thatsaid:
Electrolysis of an NaCl solution with a current of 2.00 A fora period of 200 s producted 59.6 mL of Cl2 at 650 mm pressure and27C.
