How many grams of nickel are deposited b...

How many grams of nickel are deposited by a current of 100 milliampere in 20 minutes in the electrolysis of aqueous nickel sulphate solution ? (Given atomic mass of Ni =58.7 amu.)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
0.0365 g
The reaction at the cathode is :
`underset(1mol)Ni^(2+)(aq)+underset((2 Faradays))underset(2mol)(2e^(-))to underset((58.7 g))underset(1mol)(Ni(s))`
Quantity of charge passed (Q)`="Current in ampere" xx"time in seconds "`
`=(100//1000 amp.)xx(20xx60 s)=120 As =120 C`
`2xx96500 C` of charge deposit Ni=58.7 g
120 C of charge Ni`=((58.7 g))/((2xx96500C))xx(120C)=0.0365 g`.
