The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the molar ratio of deposition of Ag, Cu, and Al when 1 mole of electrons passes through their respective solutions, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the half-reactions for each metal ion - For silver (Ag): \[ \text{Ag}^+ + e^- \rightarrow \text{Ag} \] This shows that 1 mole of Ag^+ requires 1 mole of electrons to deposit 1 mole of Ag. - For copper (Cu): \[ \text{Cu}^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow \text{Cu} \] This indicates that 1 mole of Cu^2+ requires 2 moles of electrons to deposit 1 mole of Cu. - For aluminum (Al): \[ \text{Al}^{3+} + 3e^- \rightarrow \text{Al} \] This shows that 1 mole of Al^3+ requires 3 moles of electrons to deposit 1 mole of Al. ### Step 2: Determine the amount of metal deposited per mole of electrons - For Ag: 1 mole of Ag is deposited with 1 mole of electrons. - For Cu: With 1 mole of electrons, only \( \frac{1}{2} \) mole of Cu is deposited (since it requires 2 moles of electrons for 1 mole of Cu). - For Al: With 1 mole of electrons, only \( \frac{1}{3} \) mole of Al is deposited (since it requires 3 moles of electrons for 1 mole of Al). ### Step 3: Establish the molar ratios Now we can summarize the deposition amounts: - Ag: 1 mole - Cu: \( \frac{1}{2} \) mole - Al: \( \frac{1}{3} \) mole To find a common ratio, we can express these amounts with a common denominator. The least common multiple of 1, 2, and 3 is 6. - Ag: \( 1 \times 6 = 6 \) - Cu: \( \frac{1}{2} \times 6 = 3 \) - Al: \( \frac{1}{3} \times 6 = 2 \) Thus, the molar ratio of their deposition is: \[ \text{Ag} : \text{Cu} : \text{Al} = 6 : 3 : 2 \] ### Final Answer The molar ratio of their deposition will be \( 6 : 3 : 2 \). ---
