What is the quantity of electricity required to produce 4.8 g of Mg (molar mass \(=24 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) ) from its salt solution?

  1. A 10 F
  2. B 4 F
  3. C 1 F
  4. D 0.4 F
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 0.4 F

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}+2 \mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Mg}\)
2 F will deposit 1 mole Mg (i.e., 24 g of Mg) Hence, 0.4 F of electricity will be required to deposit 4.8 g of Mg from it's salt solution.
