JEE PYQ: Electrochemistry Question 30
Question 30 - 2019 (09 Apr Shift 2)
A solution of Ni(NO$_3$)$_2$ is electrolysed between platinum electrodes using 0.1 Faraday electricity. How many moles of Ni will be deposited at the cathode?
(1) 0.05
(2) 0.20
(3) 0.15
(4) 0.10
Show Answer
Answer: (1) 0.05
Solution
Ni$^{2+}$ requires 2F per mole. 0.1F deposits $\frac{0.1}{2} = 0.05$ mol.
