Faraday's Laws
Question

When 3.86 amperes current are passed through an electorlyte for 50 minutes, 2.4 grams of a divalent metal is deposited. The gram atomic weight of the metal (in grams) is

Moderate
Solution

From Faraday's law

m = \frac{{Ait}}{{n \times 96500}} \Rightarrow A\left( {GAW} \right) = \frac{{m \times n \times 96500}}{{it}} = \frac{{2.4 \times 2 \times 96500}}{{3.86 \times 50 \times 60}} = 40
