The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of determining the ratio of the amounts of aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), and sodium (Na) deposited at the cathodes when 3 faradays of electricity are passed through molten Al2O3, aqueous CuSO4, and molten NaCl, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the deposition of Aluminum from Al2O3 - The dissociation of Al2O3 in electrolysis gives: \[ Al_2O_3 \rightarrow 2Al^{3+} + 3O^{2-} \] - The cathode reaction for aluminum is: \[ 2Al^{3+} + 6e^- \rightarrow 2Al \] - This means that to deposit 2 moles of Al, 6 moles of electrons (or 6 faradays) are required. - Therefore, for 3 faradays: \[ \text{Moles of Al deposited} = \frac{3 \text{ faradays}}{6 \text{ faradays/mole}} = 0.5 \text{ moles of Al} \] ### Step 2: Determine the deposition of Copper from CuSO4 - The dissociation of CuSO4 in electrolysis gives: \[ CuSO_4 \rightarrow Cu^{2+} + SO_4^{2-} \] - The cathode reaction for copper is: \[ Cu^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow Cu \] - This means that to deposit 1 mole of Cu, 2 faradays are required. - Therefore, for 3 faradays: \[ \text{Moles of Cu deposited} = \frac{3 \text{ faradays}}{2 \text{ faradays/mole}} = 1.5 \text{ moles of Cu} \] ### Step 3: Determine the deposition of Sodium from NaCl - The dissociation of NaCl in electrolysis gives: \[ NaCl \rightarrow Na^{+} + Cl^{-} \] - The cathode reaction for sodium is: \[ Na^{+} + e^- \rightarrow Na \] - This means that to deposit 1 mole of Na, 1 faraday is required. - Therefore, for 3 faradays: \[ \text{Moles of Na deposited} = 3 \text{ moles of Na} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the ratio of Al, Cu, and Na deposited - We have: - Al: 0.5 moles - Cu: 1.5 moles - Na: 3 moles - The ratio of Al:Cu:Na can be written as: \[ \text{Ratio} = 0.5 : 1.5 : 3 \] - To simplify this ratio, we can multiply each term by 2: \[ \text{Ratio} = 1 : 3 : 6 \] ### Final Answer The amounts of Al, Cu, and Na deposited at the cathodes will be in the ratio of **1:3:6**. ---
