Assertion (A): The charge on one mole of electrons is one Faraday.

Reason (R): The quantity of current required to deposit one mole of \(\mathrm{Mg}\) from \(\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}\) electrolyte solution is two Faradays.

The correct answer is

  1. A Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
  2. B Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The quantity of current required to deposit one mole of \(\mathrm{Mg}\) from \(\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}\) electrolyte solution is two Faradays. \[ \mathrm{Mg}^{2+}+2 e^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Mg} \] \(\therefore\) Quantity of electricity required \(=2 \mathrm{~F}\) Thus, two mole of…
