Question: The atomic weight of silver and copper are 108 and 64. A silver voltameter and a copper voltameter are connected in series and when current is passed 10.8 gm of silver is deposited. The mass of copper deposited will be

Options:

A) 6.4 gm

B) 12.8 gm

C) 3.2 gm

D) 10.8 gm

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Equivalent weight of copper $ =\frac{64}{2}=32 $

$ \frac{\text{Equivalent weight of }Cu}{\text{Equivalent weight of }Ag}=\frac{\text{Weight of }Cu\text{ deposited}}{\text{Weight of }A\text{g deposited}} $ Weight of copper deposited $ =\frac{10.8\times 32}{108}=3.2gm $
