What is quantity of iron is deposited when a current of 5A is passed through a solution containing Fe3+ ions for 19.3 minutes? [Fe=56, F=96,500C mol-1]

  • A. 0.56g
  • B. 1.12gCorrect
  • C. 2.24g
  • D. 3.36g

Explanation

Q=It=5x(19.3x60)=5790C. Fe3+ + 3e -> Fe, so moles=Q/(3F)=5790/(3x96500)=0.02mol. Mass=0.02x56=1.12g.
