250 mLof a waste solution obtained from the workshop of a goldsmith contains0.1 M AgNO3and0.1M AuCl. The solution was electrolyzed at2 Vby passing a current of1 Afor15minutes. The metal/metals electrodeposited will be :EAg+/Ag0=0.80V,EAu+/Au0=1.69V

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

 Charge (q)= it 96500F=1×15×6096500=90096500=9965F=0.0093 F

No. of moles of Au+=0.025 & No. of moles of Ag+=0.025

Species with higher value of SRP will get deposited first at cathode.

(i) Au+(aqs) + e- Au(s)

0.025          0.0093 mole 

so only Au will get deposited.
