  1. A \(4.0 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}\)
  2. B \(56 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}\)
  3. C \(604 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}\)
  4. D \(8.0 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(56 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to second law of Faraday, \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{w_{1}}{E_{1}} &=\frac{w_{2}}{E_{2}} \\ \frac{0.16}{64} &=\frac{w_{2}}{2} \\ w_{2} &=\frac{0.16 \times 2}{64}=\frac{0.01}{2}=0.005 \mathrm{~g} \end{aligned} \] Volume of…
