The quantity of silver deposited when one coulomb charge is passed through solution :
- Aatom of silver
- B1 chemical equivalent of silver
- Cof silver
- D1 electrochemical equivalent of silver
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
-
Use Faraday's first law of electrolysis
The mass deposited is where is the electrochemical equivalent and is the charge passed. -
Given charge
Here, coulomb. -
Substitute into the formula
-
Interpretation
The mass of silver deposited by passing 1 coulomb through solution is exactly one electrochemical equivalent of silver. -
Check options
- A: g-atom of silver incorrect. 1 g-atom means 1 mole, which is far too large.
- B: 1 chemical equivalent of silver incorrect. One chemical equivalent of Ag is deposited by 1 faraday of charge, not by 1 coulomb.
- C: 1 g of silver incorrect. Actual deposited mass for 1 coulomb is much smaller.
- D: 1 electrochemical equivalent of silver correct.
-
Extra verification
For silver, so 1 faraday deposits 1 gram-equivalent of Ag g. Therefore 1 coulomb deposits which is indeed the electrochemical equivalent of silver, not 1 g or 1 gram-equivalent.
Therefore, the correct answer is D.
