    How long (in hours) must a current of 5.0 A be maintained to electroplate 60 g of calcium from molten \[CaC{{l}_{2}}\]?

    A)  \[27h\]          

    B)  \[8.3h\]

    C)  \[11h\]           

    D)  \[16h\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     \[W=60g\] \[i=5A\] Equivalent weight of \[Ca=\frac{atomic\,\,weight}{valency}\] \[=\frac{40}{2}=20\] According to first law of Faraday electrolysis: \[W=Zit=\frac{equivalent\,\,weight}{96500}\times i\times t\] \[\therefore \] \[6=\frac{20}{96500}\times 5\times t\] \[t=\frac{96500\times 60}{20\times 5}s\] \[=\frac{96500\times 60}{20\times 5\times 60\times 60}h\]
