  • question_answer
    Two electrolytic cells containing \[CuS{{O}_{4}}\] and \[AgN{{O}_{3}}\] respectively are connected in series and a current is passed through them until 1 mg of copper is deposited in the first cell. The amount of silver deposited in the second cell during this time is approximately [Atomic weights of copper and silver are respectively 63.57 and 107.88]                                 [MP PMT 1996]

    A)                    1.7 mg                             

    B)                    3.4 mg

    C)                    5.1 mg                             

    D)                    6.8 mg

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       \[\frac{{{m}_{1}}}{{{m}_{2}}}=\frac{{{E}_{1}}}{{{E}_{2}}}\] (By faraday law for same current and time) Where E1 and E2 are the chemical equivalents and m1 and m2 are the masses of copper and silver respectively. \[E=\frac{\text{Atomic weight}}{\text{Valency}}\]. \[{{E}_{1}}=\frac{63.57}{2}=31.79\] and \[{{E}_{2}}=\frac{107.88}{1}=107.88\] \ \[\frac{1\,mg}{{{m}_{2}}}=\frac{31.79}{107.88}\] Þ \[{{m}_{2}}=\frac{107.88}{31.79}mg=3.4\,mg\]
