AIPMT PRELIMS 2007 Chemistry Electrolysis MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

A steady current of 1.5 amp flows through a copper voltameter for 10 minutes. If the electrochemical equivalent of copper is 30 × 10⁻⁵ g coulomb⁻¹, the mass of copper deposited on the electrode will be

A

0.50 g

B

0.67 g

C

0.27 g

D

0.40 g

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The mass of copper deposited is given by m = ZIt, where Z is the electrochemical equivalent, I is the current, and t is the time in seconds. m = 30 × 10⁻⁵ × 1.5 × 600 = 0.27 g.
