The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of determining the volume of hydrogen gas produced at STP from the deposition of 4.5 g of aluminum, we will use Faraday's laws of electrolysis and the concept of equivalent weights. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Determine the Equivalent Weights** - The equivalent weight of a substance is calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Equivalent Weight} = \frac{\text{Molar Mass}}{\text{n}} \] where \( n \) is the number of electrons transferred per ion. - For Hydrogen (\( H^+ \)): - Molar Mass of \( H = 1 \, \text{g/mol} \) - \( n = 2 \) (since \( 2H^+ + 2e^- \rightarrow H_2 \)) - Equivalent Weight of Hydrogen: \[ \text{Equivalent Weight of } H = \frac{1}{2} = 1 \, \text{g/equiv} \] - For Aluminum (\( Al^{3+} \)): - Molar Mass of \( Al = 27 \, \text{g/mol} \) - \( n = 3 \) (since \( Al^{3+} + 3e^- \rightarrow Al \)) - Equivalent Weight of Aluminum: \[ \text{Equivalent Weight of } Al = \frac{27}{3} = 9 \, \text{g/equiv} \] **Step 2: Use Faraday's Second Law of Electrolysis** - According to Faraday's second law: \[ \frac{\text{Weight of } H}{\text{Weight of } Al} = \frac{\text{Equivalent Weight of } H}{\text{Equivalent Weight of } Al} \] - Given that the weight of Aluminum is \( 4.5 \, \text{g} \): \[ \frac{W_H}{4.5} = \frac{1}{9} \] **Step 3: Calculate the Weight of Hydrogen** - Rearranging the equation to find \( W_H \): \[ W_H = \frac{1}{9} \times 4.5 \] \[ W_H = 0.5 \, \text{g} \] **Step 4: Convert the Weight of Hydrogen to Volume at STP** - The molar mass of \( H_2 \) is \( 2 \, \text{g/mol} \). - At STP, \( 1 \, \text{mol} \) of gas occupies \( 22.4 \, \text{L} \). - The number of moles of \( H_2 \) produced: \[ \text{Moles of } H_2 = \frac{0.5 \, \text{g}}{2 \, \text{g/mol}} = 0.25 \, \text{mol} \] - The volume of \( H_2 \) at STP: \[ \text{Volume} = \text{Moles} \times 22.4 \, \text{L/mol} \] \[ \text{Volume} = 0.25 \times 22.4 = 5.6 \, \text{L} \] ### Final Answer: The volume of \( H_2(g) \) produced at STP is **5.6 liters**.
