How much charge in coulombs is required for the reduction of one mole of \(\mathrm{Al}^{3+}\) to Al?

  1. A \(1.930 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{C}\)
  2. B \(2 \cdot 895 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{C}\)
  3. C \(2 \cdot 895 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{C}\)
  4. D \(1.930 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{C}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2 \cdot 895 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{C}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{Al}^{3 *}+3 \mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Al}\)
1 mole of electron \(=1 \mathrm{~F}=96500\) coulombs
\(\therefore 3 \mathrm{e}^{-}=3 \mathrm{~F}=3 \times 96500\) \(=2,89,500=2.895 \times 10^{5}\) coulombs
