State True or False
The same quantity of electricity is passed through `Al_(2)(SO_(4))_(3)` and `AgNO_(3)` solution with platinum electrodes. If `n` number of `Al` atoms are deposited on the cathode, `3n` number of `Ag` atoms will be deposited on the cathode.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the electrochemical reactions occurring when the same quantity of electricity is passed through `Al_(2)(SO_(4))_(3)` and `AgNO_(3)` solutions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reduction Reactions**: - For aluminum sulfate (`Al_(2)(SO_(4))_(3)`), the reduction reaction at the cathode is: \[ Al^{3+} + 3e^- \rightarrow Al \] - For silver nitrate (`AgNO_(3)`), the reduction reaction at the cathode is: \[ Ag^{+} + e^- \rightarrow Ag \] 2. **Determine the Number of Electrons Required**: - From the aluminum reaction, it takes 3 moles of electrons to deposit 1 mole of aluminum. - From the silver reaction, it takes 1 mole of electron to deposit 1 mole of silver. 3. **Calculate the Moles of Metal Deposited**: - If we pass a certain quantity of electricity (let's say `Q`), we can express this in terms of Faraday's laws of electrolysis: - For aluminum, if `Q` is the total charge passed, the number of moles of aluminum deposited can be calculated as: \[ \text{Moles of } Al = \frac{Q}{3F} \] - For silver, the number of moles of silver deposited is: \[ \text{Moles of } Ag = \frac{Q}{F} \] 4. **Establish the Relationship**: - If `n` moles of aluminum are deposited, then: \[ n = \frac{Q}{3F} \implies Q = 3nF \] - Substituting `Q` in the silver equation: \[ \text{Moles of } Ag = \frac{3nF}{F} = 3n \] 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, if `n` aluminum atoms are deposited, `3n` silver atoms will be deposited. This confirms the statement in the question. ### Final Answer: The statement is **True**.
