Detailed Solution

Reaction: Al3+1 mol+3e3 mol-Al1 mol=27 g

Charge on 3 moles  of electrons = 3 x 96500 coulombs

Total charge to deposit 27g Al = 3 x 96500 C

 Charge to deposit 1.5 g Al=3×96500×1.527=16083.3 C

To Calculate time (t). Current = 1.5 ampere; time  (t)=?

No. of coulombs = ampere x time (in seconds)

                           =1.5 × t.C

1.5 t = 16083.3

t=16083.31.5  Or  16083.31.5×60×60=2.9782.98 hours
