A solution of Ni(NO3)2 is electrolysed between platinum electrodes using 0.1 Faraday electricity. The number of moles of Ni that will be deposited at the cathode are:
1. | 0.10 | 2. | 0.05 |
3. | 0.20 | 4. | 0.15 |
Aluminium oxide may be electrolysed at 1000 °C to furnish aluminium metal.
The cathode reaction is Al3+ + 3e- → Al.
To prepare 5.12 kg of aluminium metal by this method would require:
(Atomic mass = 27 amu; 1 faraday=96,500 Coulombs)
1. 5.49×101 C of electricity
2. 5.49×104 C of electricity
3. 1.83×107 C of electricity
4. 5.49×107 C of electricity
1. | 1.12 mg | 2. | 3.26 mg |
3. | 2.54 mg | 4. | 4.02 mg |
