Same quantity of electricity is being used to liberate iodine (at anode) and a metal x (at cathode). The mass of x deposited is 0.617 g and the iodine is completely reduced by 46.3 cc of 0.124 M sodium thiosulphate. Find the equivalent mass of x. |
213.5 108.2 111.2 310.6 |
108.2 |
Number of equivalent of \(I_2\) reduced \(= 46.3 × 10^{−3} × 0.124\) \(= 5.7 × 10^{−3}\) Number of equivalent of \(I_2\) = Number of equivalent of metal \(5.7 × 10^{−3} = \frac{0.617}{E}\) \(E = \frac{0.617}{5.7 × 10^{−3}}\) \(E = 108.2\) |
