A \(200 \mathrm{~W}, 100 \mathrm{~V}\) bulb is connected in series with an electrolytic cell. If an aqueous solution of an Sn-salt is electrolysed for \(5 \mathrm{hrs}\), \(11.1 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{Sn}\) gets deposited. The chemical formula of the compound is (Given atomic weight of \(\mathrm{Sn}\) is \(118.7 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)).

  1. A \(\mathrm{SnO}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{SnCl}_2\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{SnCl}_4\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{SnO}_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{SnCl}_4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\therefore w=\frac{E i t}{F}=\frac{\frac{A}{n} \times i \times t}{F}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad n=\frac{A \times i \times t}{w \times F}=\frac{118.7 \times 2 \times(5 \times 3600)}{11.1 \times 96500}=3.989\) \(A=\) atomic weight of…
