I mole of Al metal at cathode when passed through molten \(\mathrm{AlCl}_{3} ?\)

  1. A \(0.3 \mathrm{F}\)
  2. B \(1 \mathrm{F}\)
  3. C \(3 \mathrm{F}\)
  4. D \(1 / 3 \mathrm{F}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(3 \mathrm{F}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The number of electrons involved in the reaction are three as shown below \[ \mathrm{Al}^{3+}+3 e^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Al} \] It means the conversion of every aluminium ion to aluminium atom requires three electrons. Therefore, the amount of electricity required for one…
