When during electrolysis of a solution of , 9650 coulombs of charge pass through the electroplating bath, the mass of silver deposited on the cathode will be :
- A10.8 g
- B21.6 g
- C108 g
- D1.08 g
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
-
Use Faraday’s law of electrolysis
The mass deposited is given by where:
- for
-
Calculate moles of electrons passed
So, mole of electrons passes through the solution.
-
Relate electrons to silver deposited
Since 1 mole of electrons deposits 1 mole of silver.
Therefore, moles of silver deposited mole.
-
Calculate mass of silver deposited
-
Match with options
Hence, the correct option is A.
