Time required to deposit one millimole of aluminium metal by the passage of 9.65 amp through aqueous solution of aluminium ion is |
30 s 10 s 30,000 s 10,000 s |
30 s |
Quantity of electricity in coulombs = Current in amperes × Time (s) For aluminium metal, \(Al^{3+} + 3e^- \rightarrow Al\) Quantity of charge required for 1 mol of \(Al^{3+}\) = \(3 × 96500C\) Quantity of charge required for \(10^{−3}\) mol of \(Al^{3+}\) = \(3 × 96500 × 10^{−3}\) Time = \(\frac{3 × 96500 × 10^{−3}}{9.65} = 30s\) |
