The nagative pole of a Daniell cell, sending a constant current through a circuit, decreases in mass by in minutes. If the electrochemical equivalent of and are and respectively, the increase in the mass of the positive pole in this time is
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
- Use Faraday’s law of electrolysis
For the same quantity of electricity passing through the cell, the mass deposited or dissolved is proportional to the electrochemical equivalent:
So, for zinc and copper in the Daniell cell,
- Given data
- Loss in mass of zinc pole:
- Electrochemical equivalent of zinc:
- Electrochemical equivalent of copper:
We need mass gained by copper pole:
- Substitute values
- Match with options The correct option is:
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer: C
Derived answer: C
They agree.
