Q25 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2021 (05 Aug Shift 1) · Chemistry
When the same quantity of electricity is passed through the aqueous solutions of the given electrolytes for the same amount of time, which metal will be deposited in maximum amount on the cathode?
- A
- B
- Correct answerC
- D
Solution
By Faraday's law of electrolysis:
Equal amount of charge causes deposition of equal number of equivalents of different metals. eg. charge will deposit one equivalent of any metal.
Discharged mass of one equivalent of
Discharged mass of one equivalent of
Discharged mass of one equivalent of
Discharged mass of one equivalent of
So, Silver metal will be deposited in maximum amount on the cathode.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
