When same quantity of electricity is passed through aqueous AgNO ₃ and H ₂ SO ₄ solutions connected in series, 5.04 10⁻² ~g of H ₂ is liberated. What is the mass of silver (in grams) deposited ? (Eq. wts. of hydrogen =1.008 , silver =108)
Options
- A54
- B0.54
- C0.5
- D10.8
Correct answer
C. 0.5
Step-by-step solution
Given, weight of hydrogen liberated =5.04 10⁻² ~g Eq. wt. of hydrogen =1.008 Eq. wt. of silver =108 Weight of silver deposited, w= ? According to Faraday's second law of electrolysis weight of silver deposited weight of hydrogen liberated aligned & = eq. wt. of silver eq. wt. of hydrogen w 5.04 10⁻² & = 108 1.008 w= 108 5.04 10⁻² 1.008 & =5.4 ~g aligned
