Question
A current strength of 3.86 A was passed through molten Calcium oxide for 41minutes and 40 seconds. The mass of Calcium in grams deposited at the cathode is (atomic mass of Ca is 40g/mol and 1F = 96500 C).
Options
4
2
8
6
Solution
2
Explanation:
m = ZIt
41 min 40 sec = 2500 seconds
= `(40 xx 3.86 xx 2500)/(2 xx 96500)`
Z = `"m"/("n" xx 96500)`
= `40/(2 xx 96500)`
= 2g

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:
Oxidation-reduction reactions are commonly known as redox reactions. They involve transfer of electrons from one species to another. In a spontaneous reaction, energy is released which can be used to do useful work. The reaction is split into two half-reactions. Two different containers are used and a wire is used to drive the electrons from one side to the other and a Voltaic/Galvanic cell is created. It is an electrochemical cell that uses spontaneous redox reactions to generate electricity. A salt bridge also connects to the half-cells. The reading of the voltmeter gives the cell voltage or cell potential or electromotive force. If \[\ce{E^0_{cell}}\] is positive the reaction is spontaneous and if it is negative the reaction is non-spontaneous and is referred to as electrolytic cell. Electrolysis refers to the decomposition of a substance by an electric current. One mole of electric charge when passed through a cell will discharge half a mole of a divalent metal ion such as Cu2+. This was first formulated by Faraday in the form of laws of electrolysis. |
