The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the electrochemical reactions occurring when equal amounts of electricity are passed through the solutions of AX and BX₂. We will derive the relationship between the moles of A and B deposited. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Dissociation of Compounds:** - The compound AX dissociates in solution as: \[ AX \rightarrow A^+ + X^- \] - The compound BX₂ dissociates in solution as: \[ BX_2 \rightarrow B^{2+} + 2X^- \] 2. **Determine the Charge Required for Deposition:** - For the deposition of A from A⁺: - 1 mole of A requires 1 mole of electrons (1 Faraday). - For the deposition of B from B²⁺: - 1 mole of B requires 2 moles of electrons (2 Faradays). 3. **Relate the Number of Moles Deposited:** - Let \( Y \) be the number of moles of A deposited. - Since 1 mole of A requires 1 Faraday, the total charge passed for A is \( Y \) Faradays. - Let \( Z \) be the number of moles of B deposited. - Since 1 mole of B requires 2 Faradays, the total charge passed for B is \( 2Z \) Faradays. 4. **Equal Charge Condition:** - Since equal amounts of electricity (in Coulombs) are passed through both solutions, we can equate the total charge: \[ Y = 2Z \] 5. **Rearranging the Equation:** - From the equation \( Y = 2Z \), we can express this in terms of \( Z \): \[ Z = \frac{Y}{2} \] 6. **Conclusion:** - The relationship between the moles of A and B deposited is: \[ Y = 2Z \] ### Final Answer: The correct relationship is \( Y = 2Z \).
