Q.

A solution of aluminium chloride is electrolyzed for 30 minutes using a current 2A. The amount of aluminium deposited at the cathode is _______.

[Given: molar mass of aluminium and chlorine are 27 g mol-1 and 35.5 g mol-1 respectively. Faraday constant = 96500 C mol-1]          [2025]

1 1.660 g  
2 0.441 g  
3 0.336 g  
4 1.007 g  

Ans.

(3)

Equivalent mass of Al (E) =M3=273geq-1=9 geq-1

Current (I) = 2 A

Time (t)=30 min=30×60 s

Mass of Al deposited = EIt96500=9×2×30×6096500g=0.336 g
