Vedclass · Answer

(D) According to Faraday's second law of electrolysis,when the same quantity of electricity is passed through cells connected in series,the mass of substances deposited is proportional to their equivalent masses.$W_{Zn} / E_{Zn} = W_{Al} / E_{Al}$Equivalent mass $E = 	ext{Molar mass} / n$-factor.For $Zn^{2+} + 2e^{-} \longrightarrow Zn$,$n$-factor $= 2$.$E_{Zn} = 65 / 2 = 32.5 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.For $Al^{3+} + 3e^{-} \longrightarrow Al$,$n$-factor $= 3$.$E_{Al} = 27 / 3 = 9 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.Substituting the values:$6.5 / 32.5 = W_{Al} / 9$$0.2 = W_{Al} / 9$$W_{Al} = 0.2 	imes 9 = 1.8 \ g$.
