Q.

A metal surface of 100 cm2 area has to be coated with a nickel layer of thickness 0.001 mm. A current of 2 A was passed through a solution of Ni(NO3)2 for 'x' seconds to coat the desired layer. The value of x is ________. (Nearest integer). 

(ρNi (density of Nickel) is 10 g mL-1, Molar mass of Nickel is 60 g mol-1 F=96500 C mol-1)             [2023]


Ans.

(161)

Mass of Ni deposited=[A×thickness]×density

=[100×10-4]×10

=0.1 gram.

w=Zit

0.1=(E96500)×i×t

0.1=(602×96500)×2×t (v.f=2)

t=161 sec
