Question:

Number of coulombs corresponding to \(1\text{ mol}\) of electrons approximately is equal to

Show Hint

Charge of one mole of electrons is one Faraday, and \(1F\approx96500\text{ C}=9.65\times10^4\text{ C}\).
  • \(1.93\times10^5\)
  • \(9.65\times10^4\)
  • \(1.93\times10^4\)
  • \(9.65\times10^5\)

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The charge carried by one mole of electrons is called one Faraday. One Faraday is given by: \[ F=N_Ae. \] Here, \[ N_A=6.022\times10^{23}\text{ mol}^{-1} \] and \[ e=1.602\times10^{-19}\text{ C}. \] Therefore, \[ F=(6.022\times10^{23})(1.602\times10^{-19}). \] \[ F\approx 9.65\times10^4\text{ C}. \] Hence, one mole of electrons carries approximately: \[ 9.65\times10^4\text{ coulombs}. \]
