The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the number of Faradays required to deposit 13.5 g of aluminum (Al) when 1 coulomb of electricity is passed through a solution of aluminum chloride (AlCl3). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Determine the molar mass of aluminum (Al)**: - The atomic mass of aluminum (Al) is approximately 27 g/mol. 2. **Calculate the number of moles of aluminum deposited**: - Using the formula: \[ \text{Number of moles} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}} \] - For 13.5 g of Al: \[ \text{Number of moles of Al} = \frac{13.5 \text{ g}}{27 \text{ g/mol}} = 0.5 \text{ moles} \] 3. **Determine the number of electrons required to deposit aluminum**: - Aluminum ions (Al³⁺) require 3 electrons (3 Faradays) to be reduced to aluminum metal (Al). - Therefore, to deposit 0.5 moles of Al: \[ \text{Total electrons required} = 0.5 \text{ moles} \times 3 \text{ electrons/mole} = 1.5 \text{ moles of electrons} \] 4. **Convert moles of electrons to Faradays**: - Since 1 mole of electrons corresponds to 1 Faraday, 1.5 moles of electrons is equivalent to: \[ \text{Number of Faradays} = 1.5 \text{ Faradays} \] 5. **Conclusion**: - The number of Faradays required to deposit 13.5 g of Al is 1.5 Faradays. ### Final Answer: The number of Faradays is **1.5 Faradays**.
