Question
$$4.5$$ $$g$$ of aluminium ( atomic mass $$27u$$ ) is deposited at cathode from $$A{l^{3 + }}$$ solution by a certain quantity of electric charge. The volume of hydrogen produced at $$STP$$ from $${H^ + }\,ions$$ in solution by the same quantity of electric charge will be
A.
44.8$$\,L$$
B.
22.4$$\,L$$
C.
11.2$$\,L$$
D.
5.6$$\,L$$
Answer :
5.6$$\,L$$
Solution :
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{From second law of Faraday}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\frac{{{m_{Al}}}}{{{m_H}}} = \frac{{{E_{Al}}}}{{{E_H}}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\frac{{4.5}}{{{m_H}}} = \frac{{\frac{{27}}{3}}}{1} \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,\,{m_H} = 0.5\,g \cr
& \because \,\,{\text{Volume of}}\,\,2\,g\,{H_2}\,{\text{at}}\,STP = 22.4\,L \cr
& \therefore \,\,{\text{Volume of}}\,\,0.5\,g\,{H_2}\,{\text{at}}\,STP \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{22.4 \times 0.5}}{2}L \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\, = 5.6\,L \cr} $$
