Step-by-step solution
6 stepsConvert time from hours to seconds.
Calculate the total charge () passed using the formula .
Write the half-reaction for the deposition of aluminium.
Aluminium ions are .
This reaction shows that 3 moles of electrons are required to deposit 1 mole of aluminium.
Calculate the moles of electrons passed.
One Faraday () is the charge of one mole of electrons, given as .
Calculate the moles of aluminium deposited using the stoichiometry from the half-reaction.
Calculate the mass of aluminium deposited using its molar mass ().
The calculated mass is approximately , which is closest to .
The final answer is .
- In electrolytic purification processes, the impure metal to be purified is used as the anode. At the anode, the impure metal is oxidized to form metal ions, which then migrate to the cathode to be deposited as pure metal.
The final answer is .
- One faraday is equal to the charge of one mole of electrons. Numerically, this value is approximately .
The final answer is .
