The amount of charge in F (Faraday) required to obtain one mole of iron from \(Fe_3O_4\) is ______ . (Nearest integer)
Correct Answer: 3
Solution and Explanation
For \(Fe_3O_4,\ x=+\frac 83\)
Where, x is oxidation state of \(Fe\).
\(Fe_3O_4+8H++8e^−→3Fe+4H_2O\)
Charge required \(=\frac 83×F\)
\(=\frac {8F}{3}\)
\(≃3F\)
So, the answer is \(3F\).

Questions Asked in JEE Main exam
Uniform magnetic fields of different strengths $ B_1 $ and $ B_2 $, both normal to the plane of the paper, exist as shown in the figure. A charged particle of mass $ m $ and charge $ q $, at the interface at an instant, moves into region 2 with velocity $ v $ and returns to the interface. It continues to move into region 1 and finally reaches the interface. What is the displacement of the particle during this movement along the interface?
Consider the velocity of the particle to be normal to the magnetic field and $ B_2 > B_1 $.- JEE Main - 2025

Concepts Used:
Electrochemical Cells
An electrochemical cell is a device that is used to create electrical energy through the chemical reactions which are involved in it. The electrical energy supplied to electrochemical cells is used to smooth the chemical reactions. In the electrochemical cell, the involved devices have the ability to convert the chemical energy to electrical energy or vice-versa.
Classification of Electrochemical Cell:
Cathode
- Denoted by a positive sign since electrons are consumed here
- A reduction reaction occurs in the cathode of an electrochemical cell
- Electrons move into the cathode
Anode
- Denoted by a negative sign since electrons are liberated here
- An oxidation reaction occurs here
- Electrons move out of the anode
Types of Electrochemical Cells:
Galvanic cells (also known as Voltaic cells)
- Chemical energy is transformed into electrical energy.
- The redox reactions are spontaneous in nature.
- The anode is negatively charged and the cathode is positively charged.
- The electrons originate from the species that undergo oxidation.
Electrolytic cells
- Electrical energy is transformed into chemical energy.
- The redox reactions are non-spontaneous.
- These cells are positively charged anode and negatively charged cathode.
- Electrons originate from an external source.
