0.02 equivalent of Ag was deposited in an electrolysis experiment. If same quantity of a electricity is passed through a gold solution, 1.314 g of gold is deposited. Find oxidation state of the gold. (Atomic mass of Au = 197)
Correct answer
3
Step-by-step solution
A g + + e - → Ag 1 mol 1 e q . 0.02 q. of Ag = 0.02 F = 0.02 × 96500 = 1930 C 1.314 Au is deposited by 0.02 F 197 is deposited by 0.02 1.314 × 197 = 3 F
