The number of coulombs required for the deposition of 108 g of silver is:
Show Hint
- 96500
- 48250
- 193000
- 100000
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Faraday’s law. One equivalent of Ag (108 g) requires one Faraday.
Step 2: Charge required. Q = 1F = 96500 C
Top Questions on Electrochemistry
Consider the following electrochemical cell at \(298\,\text{K}\):
\[ \text{Pt} \, | \, \mathrm{HSnO_2^- (aq)} \, | \, \mathrm{Sn(OH)_6^{2-} (aq)} \, | \, \mathrm{OH^- (aq)} \, | \, \mathrm{Bi_2O_3 (s)} \, | \, \mathrm{Bi (s)} \] If the reaction quotient at a given time is \(10^6\), then the cell EMF (\(E_{\text{cell}}\)) is _________ \( \times 10^{-1} \) V (Nearest integer).
Given:
\[ E^\circ_{\mathrm{Bi_2O_3/Bi,OH^-}} = -0.44\ \text{V}, \quad E^\circ_{\mathrm{Sn(OH)_6^{2-}/HSnO_2^-,OH^-}} = -0.90\ \text{V} \]- JEE Main - 2026
