The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the electrochemical reactions occurring in the three electrolytic cells containing `FeSO4`, `Fe2(SO4)3`, and `Fe(NO3)3` when the same quantity of electricity is passed through them. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Electrolytes and Their Ions**: - In the first cell with `FeSO4`, the ions present are `Fe^2+` and `SO4^2-`. - In the second cell with `Fe2(SO4)3`, the ions present are `Fe^3+` and `SO4^2-`. - In the third cell with `Fe(NO3)3`, the ions present are `Fe^3+` and `NO3^-`. 2. **Determine the Reduction Reactions**: - For `FeSO4`: \[ Fe^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow Fe(s) \] This means 2 moles of electrons are required to deposit 1 mole of iron. - For `Fe2(SO4)3` and `Fe(NO3)3`: \[ Fe^{3+} + 3e^- \rightarrow Fe(s) \] This means 3 moles of electrons are required to deposit 1 mole of iron. 3. **Calculate the Amount of Iron Deposited**: - Let the quantity of electricity passed be `Q` coulombs. - The relationship between charge (Q), moles of electrons (n), and Faraday's constant (F) is given by: \[ n = \frac{Q}{F} \] - For `FeSO4`, the amount of iron deposited (moles) is: \[ \text{Moles of Fe} = \frac{Q}{2F} \] - For `Fe2(SO4)3` and `Fe(NO3)3`, the amount of iron deposited (moles) is: \[ \text{Moles of Fe} = \frac{Q}{3F} \] 4. **Compare the Amounts of Iron Deposited**: - From the above calculations: - In `FeSO4`, the amount of iron deposited is proportional to \(\frac{1}{2}\). - In `Fe2(SO4)3` and `Fe(NO3)3`, the amount of iron deposited is proportional to \(\frac{1}{3}\). - Therefore, the ratio of iron deposited in `FeSO4` to `Fe(NO3)3` is: \[ \frac{\frac{Q}{2F}}{\frac{Q}{3F}} = \frac{3}{2} \quad \text{(or 1.5 times)} \] 5. **Anode Reactions**: - In all three cells, the anode reaction involves the oxidation of hydroxide ions: \[ 4OH^- \rightarrow O2 + 2H2O + 4e^- \] - Since the same quantity of electricity is passed through all cells, the amount of oxygen gas evolved will be the same. 6. **Conclusion**: - The correct statements based on the analysis are: - The amount of iron deposited in `FeSO4` is not equal to that in `Fe2(SO4)3` or `Fe(NO3)3`. - The amount of iron deposited in `FeSO4` is 1.5 times that in `Fe(NO3)3`. - The amount of iron deposited in `Fe2(SO4)3` and `Fe(NO3)3` is equal. - The same amount of gas is evolved in all three cases. ### Final Answer: - The correct statements are B, C, and D.

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the electrochemical reactions occurring in the three electrolytic cells containing `FeSO4`, `Fe2(SO4)3`, and `Fe(NO3)3` when the same quantity of electricity is passed through them. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Electrolytes and Their Ions**: - In the first cell with `FeSO4`, the ions present are `Fe^2+` and `SO4^2-`. - In the second cell with `Fe2(SO4)3`, the ions present are `Fe^3+` and `SO4^2-`. - In the third cell with `Fe(NO3)3`, the ions present are `Fe^3+` and `NO3^-`. ...
