Q34 / 125 · BITSAT 2019 · Chemistry

What time in sec is required for depositing all the silver present in 125 ml of 1 M AgNO3 solution by passing a current of 241.25 A (Given 1 F= 96500 C)

  • A
    10
  • Correct answer
    B
    50
  • C
    100
  • D
    1000

Solution

Given, 125 ml of 1 M AgNO3

which is equal to 13.5 g of Ag

∵ 1000 ml of AgNO3=108 g of Ag

∴ 125 ml of AgNO3=108×1251000=13.5 g

Also, ∵ 108 g of Ag is deposited by =96500 C

∴ 13.5 g of Ag is deposited by =96500×13.5108=12062.5 C

∵ Q=it

∴ t (time) =Q/i=12062.50241.25, t=50 sec

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
