On passing 0.1 Faraday of electricity through aluminium chloride, the amount of aluminium metal deposited on cathode is \rightarrow

A

0.9 gm

B

0.3 gm

C

0.27 gm

D

2.7 gm

Answer

0.9 gm

Explanation

Solution

At cathode; Al3++3eAlAl^{3 +} + 3e^{-} \rightarrow Al

EAl=273=9E_{Al} = \frac{27}{3} = 9

WAl=EAl×No.offaradays=9×0.1=0.9gmW_{Al} = E_{Al} \times \text{No.offaradays} = 9 \times 0.1 = 0.9gm.
