Correct answer: A

  1. Use Faraday’s law of electrolysis

    The mass deposited is given by m=QF⋅Mnm = \frac{Q}{F}\cdot \frac{M}{n}m=FQ​⋅nM​ where:

    • Q=9650 CQ = 9650\ \text{C}Q=9650 C
    • F=96500 C mol−1F = 96500\ \text{C mol}^{-1}F=96500 C mol−1
    • M(Ag)=108 g mol−1M(\text{Ag}) = 108\ \text{g mol}^{-1}M(Ag)=108 g mol−1
    • n=1n = 1n=1 for Ag++e−→Ag\text{Ag}^+ + e^- \to \text{Ag}Ag++e−→Ag
  2. Calculate moles of electrons passed

    QF=965096500=0.1\frac{Q}{F} = \frac{9650}{96500} = 0.1FQ​=965009650​=0.1

    So, 0.10.10.1 mole of electrons passes through the solution.

  3. Relate electrons to silver deposited

    Since Ag++e−→Ag\text{Ag}^+ + e^- \to \text{Ag}Ag++e−→Ag 1 mole of electrons deposits 1 mole of silver.

    Therefore, moles of silver deposited =0.1= 0.1=0.1 mole.

  4. Calculate mass of silver deposited

    m=0.1×108=10.8 gm = 0.1 \times 108 = 10.8\ \text{g}m=0.1×108=10.8 g

  5. Match with options

    10.8 g\boxed{10.8\ \text{g}}10.8 g​

    Hence, the correct option is A.
