Question

Three Faradays of electricity was passed through an aqueous solution of magnesium bromide. The weight of magnesium metal deposited at the cathode in grams is:


  1. 56
  2. 84
  3. 36
  4. 168

A
84
B
56
C
36
D
168
Solution
Verified by Toppr

MgBr2 has Mg2+ ions.

Mg2+ + 2e => Mg

2 moles of electron deposits 1 mole of Mg.

1 mole of electron = 1 Faraday

3 moles of the electron will yield = 3/2 moles of Mg.

1 mole of Mg= 24 gm.

therefore 3/2 moles of Mg= 36 gm.

Option C is correct.
