Explanation / Answer

For trial 1:

Average current = 0.156 A

Charge passed = Avg current*Time = 0.156*(8*60) = 74.88 C

At the given temp, Vapor pressure of water = 21.3 torr = 21.3 mm Hg

Partial pressure of hydrogen = 787.654-21.3 = 766.354 mm Hg

Putting values in the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

(766.354/760)*0.0097 = n*0.0821*300.2

Solving we get:

n = 0.000397

Since 1 mole of hydrogen gas is produced using two moles of electrons, so moles of electrons passed = 0.000397*2 = 0.000794

Experimental value of Faraday's constant = Charge passed/Moles of e- = 74.88/0.000794 = 94307.30 C/mol e-

Hope this helps !
