What will be the weight of $\mathrm{Al}$ deposited at cathode, when 0.5 faraday of electricity is passed through aqueous solution of $\mathrm{AlCl}_3$ ? (at mass of $\mathrm{Al}=27$ )
  1. 4.5 g
  2. 13.5 g
  3. 40.5 g
  4. 3.0 g

Solution

$\begin{array}{cc}\mathrm{Al}^{+3}+3 \mathrm{e}^{-} & \mathrm{Al}(\mathrm{s}) \\ 3 \mathrm{~F} & 27 \mathrm{~g} \\ 0.5 \mathrm{~F} & 4.5 \mathrm{~g}\end{array}$
