The mass of zinc produced by the electrolysis of zinc sulphate...

The mass of zinc produced by the electrolysis of zinc sulphate solution with a steady current of 0.015A0 . 015A for 1515 minutes is _ ___ \times {10}^{- 4}g. (Atomic mass of zinc =65.4amu)= 65 . 4amu )

Correct answer

46

Step-by-step solution

Given, t = 1515min

Zn+2+2e−⟶Zn{Zn}^{+ 2} + 2{e}^{-} ⟶ Zn

Quantity of charge passed (Q) =Current in amperes ×Time in seconds.
=(0.015A)×(15×60)s=13.5C( 0 . 015A ) \times ( 15 \times 60 ) s = 13 . 5C

Gram equivalent mass of zinc = 65.42=32.7\dfrac{65 . 4}{2} = 32 . 7g
Now,  9650096500 C of charge deposit zinc =32.732 . 7 g
13.513 . 5 C charge will deposit zinc = (32.7g)(96500C)×(13.5C)=4.57×10−3g\dfrac{( 32 . 7g )}{( 96500C )} \times ( 13 . 5C ) = 4 . 57 \times {10}^{- 3}g

=45.75×10−4gm= 45 . 75 \times {10}^{- 4}gm
