The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of calculating the mass of deposited metals (Ag, Ni, Cr) when 1 Faraday of charge is passed through an electrolytic cell containing their ions, we will use Faraday's laws of electrolysis. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Faraday's Law**: Faraday's first law states that the mass of a substance deposited or liberated during electrolysis is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity passed through the electrolyte. The formula can be expressed as: \[ W = \frac{Q}{F} \times E \] where \( W \) is the mass of the substance deposited, \( Q \) is the total charge passed (in Coulombs), \( F \) is Faraday's constant (approximately 96500 C/mol), and \( E \) is the equivalent weight of the substance. 2. **Calculating Equivalent Weight**: The equivalent weight \( E \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ E = \frac{\text{Molar Mass}}{n} \] where \( n \) is the number of electrons transferred in the half-reaction. 3. **For Silver (Ag)**: - Molar mass of Ag = 108 u - \( n \) for Ag = 1 (Ag⁺ + e⁻ → Ag) \[ E_{Ag} = \frac{108}{1} = 108 \text{ g/equiv} \] 4. **For Nickel (Ni)**: - Molar mass of Ni = 59 u - \( n \) for Ni = 2 (Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Ni) \[ E_{Ni} = \frac{59}{2} = 29.5 \text{ g/equiv} \] 5. **For Chromium (Cr)**: - Molar mass of Cr = 52 u - \( n \) for Cr = 3 (Cr³⁺ + 3e⁻ → Cr) \[ E_{Cr} = \frac{52}{3} \approx 17.33 \text{ g/equiv} \] 6. **Calculating Mass Deposited**: Since we are passing 1 Faraday (1 equiv), the mass deposited for each metal is equal to its equivalent weight: - Mass of Ag deposited = 108 g - Mass of Ni deposited = 29.5 g - Mass of Cr deposited = 17.33 g ### Final Results: - Mass of Ag deposited = 108 g - Mass of Ni deposited = 29.5 g - Mass of Cr deposited = 17.33 g
