The number of electrons constituting \(1.5\) Faradays charge are:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → \(9.03 \times 10^{23}\)
One Faraday is the charge on one mole of electrons: 1 F = NA × 1.6021 × 10−19 C = 96487 C. So a charge of 1.5 F is carried by 1.5 mol of electrons.
Number of electrons = 1.5 × 6.022 × 1023
= 9.03 × 1023
NCERT (2026-27 edition):
Electrolytic Cells and Electrolysis – “… We know that charge on one electron is equal to 1.6021 × 10−19 C. Therefore, the charge on one mole of electrons is equal to: NA × 1.6021 × 10−19 C = 6.02 × 1023 mol−1 × 1.6021 × 10−19 C = 96487 C mol−1. This quantity of electricity is called Faraday and is represented by the symbol F.”
