ELECTROLYSIS-QN15


An electric steady current of 2A was passed through fused aluminum oxide. Calculate the time taken to deposit 25g of Aluminum metal.


  • Soln:


    Data:

    Mass of Al = 25g
    Current = 2 A
    R.A.M of Al = 27
    Valence of Aluminum = 3
    IF = 96500 C
    Using the formula

    M = ArIt / Vf

    Where Ar is the relative relative mass.

    Hence:

    T = m × v × f / Ar × I

    = 25 × 3 × 96500 / 27 × 2

    = 2233.8 minutes

    The time taken to deposited 25g of Aluminum is 37.23 hours
