What is the amount of charge required to carry out the conversion of 1 mole of `Al^(3+)` ions to Al according to the following reaction ?
`Al^(3+) + 3e^(-) rarr Al`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The number of electrons involved in the reaction is three. It means the conversion of every aluminium ion to aluminium atom requires three electrons.
Therefore, the amount of electricity required for one mole of `Al^(3+)` ions `= 3F` or `3 xx 96500C`
`= 289500C`
