Salts of A (atomic weight 8 ), B (atomic weight 18 ) and C (atomic weight 50 ) were electrolysed under identical conditions using the same quantity of electricity. It was found that 2 . 4   g of A was deposited, the weight of B and C deposited are 1 . 8   g and 7 . 5 g respectively. The valences of A ,   B and C are, respectively,
Options
- A3 ,   1 and 2
- B1 ,   2 and 3
- C1 ,   3 and 2
- D3 ,   2 and 1
Correct answer
C. 1 ,   3 and 2
Step-by-step solution
According to the Faraday's law of electrolysis, W = ZQ = E 96500 Q For the compound A , Equivalent mass of A = Atomic   mass Valency = 8 x x is the valency factor for compound A . So, W = E 96500 Q = 8 x 96500 Q x = 7 2 . 4 × 96500 Q For compound B , Equivalent mass of B = Atomic   mass Valency = 18 y y is the valency factor for compound B . So, W = E 96500 Q = 18 y 96500 Q y = 27 1 . 8 × 96500 Q For compound C , Equivalent mass of C = Atomic   mass Valency = 50 z z is the valency facto
