Question 12 - 2024 (31 Jan Shift 1)

One Faraday of electricity liberates $x \times 10^{-1}$ gram atom of copper from copper sulphate, $x$ ________ is

Show Answer

Answer (5)

Solution

$Cu^{2+}+2 e^{-} \rightarrow Cu$

2 Faraday $\rightarrow 1 \mathrm{mol ~Cu}$

1 Faraday $\rightarrow 0.5 \mathrm{mol ~Cu}$ deposit

$0.5 mol=0.5 g$ atom $=5 \times 10^{-1}$

$x=5$
