The correct Answer is:
To determine the quantity of electricity needed to electrolyze completely a 1M solution of CuSO4, Bi2(SO4)3, AlCl3, and AgNO3, we need to analyze the electrochemical reactions for each compound and calculate the number of Faradays required for the complete electrolysis. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Electrolysis of CuSO4:** - The electrochemical reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{Cu}^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow \text{Cu} \] - Here, 2 moles of electrons (2 Faradays) are required to reduce 1 mole of Cu²⁺ to Cu. - Therefore, for 1 mole of CuSO4, we need **2 Faradays**. 2. **Electrolysis of Bi2(SO4)3:** - The electrochemical reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{Bi}^{3+} + 6e^- \rightarrow 2\text{Bi} \] - Here, 6 moles of electrons (6 Faradays) are required to reduce 2 moles of Bi³⁺ to Bi. - Therefore, for 1 mole of Bi2(SO4)3, we need **6 Faradays**. 3. **Electrolysis of AlCl3:** - The electrochemical reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{Al}^{3+} + 3e^- \rightarrow \text{Al} \] - Here, 3 moles of electrons (3 Faradays) are required to reduce 1 mole of Al³⁺ to Al. - Therefore, for 1 mole of AlCl3, we need **3 Faradays**. 4. **Electrolysis of AgNO3:** - The electrochemical reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{Ag}^{+} + e^- \rightarrow \text{Ag} \] - Here, 1 mole of electron (1 Faraday) is required to reduce 1 mole of Ag⁺ to Ag. - Therefore, for 1 mole of AgNO3, we need **1 Faraday**. ### Summary of Faradays Required: - CuSO4: 2 Faradays - Bi2(SO4)3: 6 Faradays - AlCl3: 3 Faradays - AgNO3: 1 Faraday Thus, the quantities of electricity needed to electrolyze completely 1M solutions of the respective compounds are: - CuSO4: **2 F** - Bi2(SO4)3: **6 F** - AlCl3: **3 F** - AgNO3: **1 F**
