Question:

What is the time (in sec) required for depositing all the silver present in $125\, mL$ of $1\, M\,AgNO _{3}$ solution by passing a current of $241.25 A$ ?$ (IF =965000\, C)$

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Given, $125\, mL$ of $1\, M\, AgNO _{3}$ solution. It means that $\because 1000\, mL$ of $AgNO _{3}$ solution contains $=108\, g\, Ag$ $\therefore 125\, mL$ of $AgNO _{3}$ solution contains $=\frac{108 \times 125}{1000} g Ag$ $= 13/5 \,g\,Ag$ $108\, g$ of $Ag$ is deposited by $=96500\, C$ $\therefore 13.5\, g$ of $Ag$ is deposited by $=\frac{96500}{108} \times 13.5$ $=12062.5\, C$ $Q=i t$ or $t=\frac{Q}{i}=\frac{12062.5}{241.25}=50$

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:

  1. Electrolytic cells are used for the production of Hydrogen and Oxygen gas from water.
  2. They are used for the large-scale production of pure metals like sodium, copper, magnesium, etc.
  3. They are used to extract Aluminium from Bauxite.
  4. 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.
  5. Electrolysis is used for the electrorefining of non-ferrous metals.
