Three faradays of electricity is passed through molten Al2O3, aqueous solutions of CuSO4 and molten — Electrochemistry Chemistry Question
Question
Three faradays of electricity is passed through molten Al2O3, aqueous solutions of CuSO4 and molten NaCl. The amounts of Al, Cu and Na deposited at the cathodes will be in the molar ratio of
Answer: C
💡 Solution & Explanation
3 F provides 3 moles of electrons. Al is +3 (requires 3F/mol $\rightarrow$ 1 mol deposited). Cu is +2 (requires 2F/mol $\rightarrow$ 1.5 mol deposited). Na is +1 (requires 1F/mol $\rightarrow$ 3 mol deposited). The molar ratio is 1 : 1.5 : 3. Therefore, correct answer is C.
