A solution of aluminium chloride is electrolysed for 30 minutes using a current of 2 A . The amount of the aluminium deposited at the cathode is _______.
[Given : molar mass of aluminium and chlorine are \(27 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) and \(35.5 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) respectively. Faraday constant \(\left.=96500 \mathrm{C} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}\right]\)

  1. A 1.660 g
  2. B 0.336 g
  3. C 0.441 g
  4. D 1.007 g
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 0.336 g

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{Al}^{1++}+3 \mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Al}\) \(\begin{aligned} \text { Moles of electron } & =\frac{2 \times 30 \times 60}{96500} \\ & =\frac{36}{965} \end{aligned}\)…
