Question

How much electricity in terms of Faraday is required to produce 20 g of Ca from molten CaClA2?

(Given: Molar mass of Calcium is 40 g mol−1.)

Numerical

Solution

CaClA2CaA2++2ClA

40 g of calcium needs = 2 mole of electrons

= 2 × 96500 coulombs

∴ 20 g of calcium needs = 96500 coulombs (1F)
