Answer

Correct option: A.
$1$
a
Given balanced equation is

$6 \mathrm{OH}^{-}+\mathrm{Cl} ^{-}\rightarrow \mathrm{ClO}_{3}^{-}+3 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+6 \mathrm{e}^{-}$

$\rightarrow 10\, \mathrm{~g}\, \mathrm{KClO}_{3} \Rightarrow \frac{10}{122.6} \,\mathrm{~mol} \,\mathrm{KCO} 3$ in obtained

$\rightarrow$ From the above reaction, it is concluded that by $6\, \mathrm{~F}$ charge $1\, \mathrm{~mol} \,\mathrm{KClO}_{3}$ is obtained.

$\rightarrow$ By the passage of $6\, \mathrm{~F}$ charge $=1\, \mathrm{~mol} \,\mathrm{KClO}_{3}$

$\therefore$ By the passage of $\frac{x \times 10 \times 60 \times 60}{96500}\, \mathrm{~F}$ charge

$=\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{x \times 10 \times 60 \times 60}{96500}$

Now $\frac{x \times 10 \times 60 \times 60}{6 \times 96500}=\frac{10}{122.6}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{10 \times 965}{60 \times 122.6}=\frac{965}{735.6}=1.311 \simeq 1$

OR

$W=\frac{E}{F} \times I \times t$

$10=\frac{122.6}{96500 \times 6} \times x \times 10 \times 3600$

$X=1.311$
