Three Faraday of electricity is passed through aqueous solutions ofAgNO3,NiSO4andCoCl3kept in three vessels using inert electrodes. The ratio in mol in which the metals Ag, Ni and Co will be deposited is

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

(i)  Ag + (aq) + e − 1 mol = 1 F      3 F → Ag (s) 1 mol 3 mol
(ii)  Ni 2+ (aq)  +  2e − 2 mol = 2 F       3 F → Ni (s)   1 mol 3/2 mol
(iii)  Co + (aq) +  3e − 3 mol = 3 F → Co (s) 1 mol
The required ratio of moles of Ag, Ni and Co is
3 mol Ag: 3/2 mol Ni : 1 mol Co or 6 mol Ag : 3 mol Ni : 2 mol Co.
