Question 44
Conduction through Liquids and GasesThe electrochemical equivalent of silver is 0.0012 g/C. If 36.0 g of silver is to be deposited by electrolysis on a surface by passing a steady current for 5.0 minutes, the current must be
- A.6000 A
- B.100 A
- C.10 A
- D.1 A
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: B (100 A)
Explanation
m = zIt, so I = 36/(0.0012 × 300) = 100 A.
