  1. A \(1.35 \mathrm{~g}\)
  2. B \(2.7 \mathrm{~g}\)
  3. C \(5.1 \mathrm{~g}\)
  4. D \(5.4 \mathrm{~g}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1.35 \mathrm{~g}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Faraday's second law, \[ \frac{w_{1}}{E_{1}}=\frac{w_{2}}{E_{2}} \] where, \(w\) and \(E\) are mass and equivalent weight respectively. \(\frac{0.4}{\frac{63.5}{2}}=\frac{w_{2}}{108}\) \(\therefore \quad w_{2}=1.35 \mathrm{~g}\)
