    One Faraday of electricity is passed through molten\[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}},\]aqueous solution of\[CuS{{O}_{4}}\]and molten\[NaCl\]taken in three different electrolytic cells connected in series. The mole ratio of\[Al,Cu\]and Na deposited at the respective cathode is

    A)  2 : 3 : 6                                

    B)  \[6:2:3\]

    C)  6 : 3 : 2                                

    D)  \[1:2:3\]

    E)  3 : 6 : 2

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[A{{l}^{3+}}+3{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}Al\]            \[3\text{ }F~~~~~\,\,\,\,\,1\text{ }mol\]            \[1F~\,\,\,\,~~~~1/3\text{ }mol\] \[C{{u}^{2+}}+2{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}Cu\]             \[2\text{ }F\,\,\,\,\,\,~~~~~1\text{ }mol\]              \[1F\,\,\,~~~~~~1/2\text{ }mol\] \[N{{a}^{+}}+{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}Na\]           \[1F~\,\,\,~~~~~~~1\text{ }mol\] \[\therefore \] The mole ratio of\[Al,Cu\]and Na deposited at the respective cathode is                 \[\frac{1}{3}:\frac{1}{2}:1\]or \[2:3:6\]
