The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will break it down into two parts: finding the atomic weight of the metal (M) and calculating the quantity of electricity required to deposit the same mass of copper (Cu) from CuSO4. ### Part 1: Finding the Atomic Weight of Metal (M) 1. **Identify the Given Data:** - Current (I) = 10 A - Time (t) = 330 s - Mass of metal deposited (W) = 1.95 g - Valency factor of metal fluoride (MF2) = 2 (since it is bivalent) 2. **Use Faraday's Law of Electrolysis:** The relationship can be expressed as: \[ \frac{W}{\text{Equivalent Weight}} = \frac{I \cdot t}{96500} \] where 96500 C is the Faraday constant. 3. **Calculate the Equivalent Weight:** The equivalent weight (EW) is given by: \[ \text{Equivalent Weight} = \frac{\text{Atomic Weight}}{\text{Valency Factor}} = \frac{A}{2} \] where A is the atomic weight of metal M. 4. **Substitute Values into the Equation:** \[ \frac{1.95}{\frac{A}{2}} = \frac{10 \cdot 330}{96500} \] 5. **Simplify the Equation:** \[ \frac{1.95 \cdot 2}{A} = \frac{3300}{96500} \] \[ \frac{3.90}{A} = \frac{3300}{96500} \] 6. **Cross Multiply to Solve for A:** \[ 3.90 \cdot 96500 = 3300 \cdot A \] \[ 376350 = 3300A \] \[ A = \frac{376350}{3300} \approx 114 \text{ g/mol} \] ### Part 2: Quantity of Electricity Required to Deposit 1.95 g of Cu 1. **Identify the Given Data for Copper:** - Mass of copper deposited (W) = 1.95 g - Atomic weight of copper (A) = 63.5 g/mol - Valency factor for Cu (from CuSO4) = 2 (since Cu²⁺ gains 2 electrons) 2. **Use Faraday's Law Again:** \[ \frac{W}{\text{Equivalent Weight}} = \frac{Q}{96500} \] 3. **Calculate the Equivalent Weight for Copper:** \[ \text{Equivalent Weight} = \frac{63.5}{2} = 31.75 \text{ g/equiv} \] 4. **Substitute Values into the Equation:** \[ \frac{1.95}{31.75} = \frac{Q}{96500} \] 5. **Cross Multiply to Solve for Q:** \[ 1.95 \cdot 96500 = 31.75 \cdot Q \] \[ 188775 = 31.75Q \] \[ Q = \frac{188775}{31.75} \approx 5917.45 \text{ C} \] ### Final Answers: - The atomic weight of metal M is approximately **114 g/mol**. - The quantity of electricity required to deposit 1.95 g of Cu from CuSO4 is approximately **5917.45 C**.

To solve the problem step by step, we will break it down into two parts: finding the atomic weight of the metal (M) and calculating the quantity of electricity required to deposit the same mass of copper (Cu) from CuSO4. ### Part 1: Finding the Atomic Weight of Metal (M) 1. **Identify the Given Data:** - Current (I) = 10 A - Time (t) = 330 s - Mass of metal deposited (W) = 1.95 g ...
