AIIMS 2017 Chemistry Faraday's Laws of Electrolysis MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

The number of coulombs required to reduce 12.3 g of nitrobenzene to aniline is

A

96500 C

B

5790 C

C

95700 C

D

57900 C

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

To determine the charge needed for the electrolysis of nitrobenzene, we use the formula Q=n×FQ = n \times F, where nn is the number of moles and FF is Faraday's constant (approximately 96500 C/mol). Given that the molar mass of nitrobenzene is 123 g/mol, the charge can be calculated as Q=6×96500×12.3123Q = \frac{6 \times 96500 \times 12.3}{123}, which simplifies to approximately 57900 C, confirming option B as correct. Options A, C, and D do not provide valid calculations or relevant information needed to solve the problem, making them incorrect.
