What mass of silver will be deposited at the cathode when a current of 5 A is passed through a solution of AgNO₃ for 1 hour, 1 minute and 1 second? [Ag = 108, 1F = 96500 C]

  • A. 20.5 gCorrect
  • B. 10.25 g
  • C. 41 g
  • D. 5 g

Explanation

t = 1×3600 + 1×60 + 1 = 3661 s. Q = It = 5 × 3661 = 18305 C. m = (M × Q)/(n × F) = (108 × 18305)/(1 × 96500) = 20.5 g.
