Same quantity of electricity was passed through solutions of sales of elements \(X, Y\) and \(Z\) with atomic masses 7,27 and 48 respectively. The mass of \(X, Y\) and \(Z\) deposited were \(2.1 \mathrm{~g}, 2.7 \mathrm{~g}\) and \(7.2 \mathrm{~g}\) respectively. The valence's of \(X, Y\) and \(Z\) respectively are

  1. A 3,2 and 1
  2. B 1,2 and 3
  3. C 1,3 and 2
  4. D 2,3 and 1

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 1,3 and 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Faraday's law \[ \begin{array}{rlr} W & =Z Q & {[W=\text { weight of substance }]} \\ & =\frac{E Q}{96500} \quad[E=\text { Equivalent weight }] \end{array} \] For \(X\) \[ 2.1=\frac{(7 / x) Q}{96500} \] For \(Y\) \[ 2.7=\frac{(27 / y) Q}{96500} \] For \(Z\)…
