  1. A ZnSO4
  2. B FeCl3
  3. C AgNO3
  4. D NiCl2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) AgNO3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

By Faraday's law of electrolysis: Equal amount of charge causes deposition of equal number of equivalents of different metals. eg. 1F charge will deposit one equivalent of any metal. Discharged mass of one equivalent of Zn from ZnCl2= 65.42=32.7 g Discharged…
