A) 0.40 g
B) 0.50 g
C) 0.67 g
D) 0.27 g
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Key Idea: Apply first law of electrolysis during deposition of charge on an electrode through electrolysis. If m is the mass of a substance deposited or liberated at an electrode during electrolysis when a charge q passes through electrolyte, then according to Faraday's first law of electrolysis. \[m\,\propto \,\,q\] \[orm=zq\] where z is a constant of proportionality and is called electrochemical equivalent (ECE) of the substance. If an electric current \[I\] flows through the electrolyte, then q = lt \[\therefore m=zit\] Here, mass of copper deposited on the electrode \[m=30\times {{10}^{-5}}\times 1.5\times 10\times 60\] \[=27\times {{10}^{-2}}=0.27\,g\]You need to login to perform this action.
