Correct answer: 20

  1. Write the electrode reaction

In Fe2(SO4)3Fe_2(SO_4)_3Fe2​(SO4​)3​, iron is present as Fe3+Fe^{3+}Fe3+. To deposit iron metal:

Fe3++3e−→FeFe^{3+} + 3e^- \rightarrow FeFe3++3e−→Fe

So, 1 mole of Fe requires 3 moles of electrons.

  1. Moles of iron deposited

Given mass of iron deposited = 0.3482 g0.3482\,g0.3482g

Molar mass of iron = 56 g mol−156\,g\,mol^{-1}56gmol−1

n(Fe)=0.348256=0.006217857 moln(Fe)=\frac{0.3482}{56}=0.006217857\,moln(Fe)=560.3482​=0.006217857mol

  1. Moles of electrons required

Since 1 mole Fe needs 3 moles electrons,

n(e−)=3×0.006217857=0.018653571 moln(e^-)=3\times 0.006217857=0.018653571\,moln(e−)=3×0.006217857=0.018653571mol

  1. Charge required

Using 1F=96500 C mol−11F = 96500\,C\,mol^{-1}1F=96500Cmol−1,

Q=n(e−)×96500Q = n(e^-)\times 96500Q=n(e−)×96500

Q=0.018653571×96500=1800.07 CQ = 0.018653571\times 96500 = 1800.07\,CQ=0.018653571×96500=1800.07C

  1. Use Q=ItQ = ItQ=It

Current I=1.5 A=1.5 C s−1I = 1.5\,A = 1.5\,C\,s^{-1}I=1.5A=1.5Cs−1

t=QI=1800.071.5=1200.05 st = \frac{Q}{I} = \frac{1800.07}{1.5} = 1200.05\,st=IQ​=1.51800.07​=1200.05s

Convert to minutes:

x=1200.0560=20.00 minx = \frac{1200.05}{60} = 20.00\,\text{min}x=601200.05​=20.00min

  1. Nearest integer

x=20x = 20x=20

So, the required time is:

20\boxed{20}20​
