    How many atoms of calcium will be deposited from a solution of \[CaC{{l}_{2}}\]by a current 0.25 mA following for 60 seconds                                               [BHU 2004]

    A)                 \[4.68\times {{10}^{18}}\]           

    B)                 \[4.68\times {{10}^{15}}\]

    C)                 \[4.68\times {{10}^{12}}\]           

    D)                 \[4.68\times {{10}^{9}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               Given, Current (i) = 25 mA = 0.025 A                    Time (t) = 60 sec                    Q = i t\[=60\times 0.025=1.5\]coulombs                    No. of electrons \[=\frac{1.5\times 6.023\times {{10}^{23}}}{96500}\]                    \[{{e}^{-}}=9.36\times {{10}^{18}}\]                    \[Ca\to C{{a}^{2+}}+2{{e}^{-}}\]                    \[2{{e}^{-}}\] are required to deposite one Ca atom                                 \[9.36\times {{10}^{18}}\ {{e}^{-}}\] will be used to deposite \[=\frac{9.36\times {{10}^{18}}}{2}\] \[=4.68\times {{10}^{18}}\].
