Paragraph: Chemical reactions involve interaction of atoms and molecules. A large number of atoms/molecules (approximately 6.023×10236.023 \times 10^{23} ) are present in a few grams of any chemical compound varying with their atomic/molecular masses. To handle such large numbers conveniently, the mole concept was introduced. This concept has implications in diverse areas such as analytical chemistry, biochemistry, electrochemistry and radiochemistry. The following example illustrates a typical case, involving chemical/electrochemical reaction, which requires a clear understanding of the mole concept. A 4.04.0 molar aqueous solution of NaCl\mathrm{NaCl} is prepared and 500 mL500 \mathrm{~mL} of this solution is electrolysed. This leads to the evolution of chlorine gas at one of electrodes (atomic mass: Na=23,Hg=200;1\mathrm{Na}=23, \mathrm{Hg}=200 ; 1 faraday =96500=96500 coulombs).Question: If the cathode is a Hg electrode, the maximum weight (g)(g) of amalgam formed from this solution is

Options

  1. A200
  2. B225
  3. C400
  4. D446

Correct answer

D. 446

Step-by-step solution

Na+Hg⟶Na−Hg\mathrm{Na}+\mathrm{Hg} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Na}-\mathrm{Hg} 2 mole 2\quad 2 mole 2 moles of amalgam =23×2+2×200=446 g=23 \times 2+2 \times 200=446 \mathrm{~g}
