A $100.0\, mL$ dilute solution of $Ag ^{+}$is electrolysed for $15.0$ minutes with a current of $1.25 \,mA$ and the silver is removed completely. What was the initial $\left[ Ag ^{+}\right]$?
- $2.32 \times 10^{-1}$
- $2.32 \times 10^{-4}$
- $2.32 \times 10^{-3}$
- $1.16 \times 10^{-5}$
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
$A g^{+}=\frac{15 \times 60+1.25 \times 10^{-3}}{96,500} \times \frac{1}{1}$
$=0.0116 \times 10^{-3}$
$\therefore\left[A g^{+}\right]=\frac{1.16 \times 10^{-5}}{\frac{100}{1000}}$
$=1.16 \times 10^{-4}$
Top Questions on Electrolysis
If \( E^\circ_{Fe^{2+}/Fe} = -0.441 \, \text{V} \) and \( E^\circ_{Fe^{3+}/Fe^{2+}} = 0.771 \, \text{V} \),
the standard emf of the cell reaction \( Fe(s) + 2Fe^{3+}(aq) \rightarrow 3Fe^{2+}(aq) \) is:\[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = E^\circ_{\text{cathode}} - E^\circ_{\text{anode}} \] For the reaction, \( Fe^{3+} \) is reduced to \( Fe^{2+} \) (reduction at the cathode), and \( Fe \) is oxidized to \( Fe^{2+} \) (oxidation at the anode). So: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = E^\circ_{Fe^{3+}/Fe^{2+}} - E^\circ_{Fe^{2+}/Fe} \] \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = 0.771 \, \text{V} - (-0.441 \, \text{V}) = 0.771 + 0.441 = 1.212 \, \text{V} \] Hence, the standard emf of the cell reaction is \( 1.212 \, \text{V} \).

Concepts Used:
Electrolysis
Electrolysis:
Electrolysis is the process by which an element is decomposed and undergoes some chemical change under the influence of any electric current. The first-ever electrolysis was executed out by Sir Humphrey Davey in the year 1808. Electrolysis can occur in both Galvanic cells and Electrolytic cells.
Applications of Electrolysis:
- Electrolytic cells are used for the production of Hydrogen and Oxygen gas from water.
- They are used for the large-scale production of pure metals like sodium, copper, magnesium, etc.
- They are used to extract Aluminium from Bauxite.
- Electrolytic cells are used for electroplating, a process by which a thin protective layer of one metal is formed over another metal, mostly for protection.
- Electrolysis is used for the electrorefining of non-ferrous metals.
