A solution of aluminium chloride is electrolysed for 30 minutes using a current of 2 A. The amount of the aluminium deposited at the cathode is . [Given : molar mass of aluminium and chlorine are 27 g mol-1 and 35.5 g mol-1 respectively. Faraday constant = 96500 C mol-1]
- 1.660 g
- 1.007 g
- 0.336 g
- 0.441 g
Answer
(3) 0.336 g
Solution
m = M I tnF, n = 3 for Al3+ + 3e- Al
= 27 2 18003 96500
= 0.336 g
Answer: (3)
