Question

During electrolysis of a solution of $AgNO_{3},9650$coulombs of charge is passed through the solution. What will be the mass of silver deposited on the cathode?

• A. $108g$
• B. $10.8g$
• C. $1.08g$
• D. 216 g

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$10.8g$

Answer 2

$Ag^{+} + \underset{1F}{e^{-}} \rightarrow \underset{108g}{Ag}$

Amount of Ag deposited by 9650 C

$= \frac{108}{96500} \times 9650 = 10.8g$
