A current of 1.93 A is passed through an aqueous solution of silver...
A current of is passed through an aqueous solution of silver nitrate () for . What is the mass of silver deposited at the cathode?
(Given: Molar mass of , )
(Given: Molar mass of , )
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
The total charge passed through the solution is given by .
Substituting the given values:
The reduction reaction at the cathode is:
This indicates that of electrons () deposits of silver ().
Using Faraday's first law of electrolysis, the mass of silver deposited is:
Here, for . Substituting the values:
