On passing a current through molten KCI of is deposited. The amount of deposited

On passing a current through molten KCI \( 19.5 \mathrm{g} \) of \( \mathrm{K} \) is deposited. The amount of \( \mathrm{Al} \) deposited by the same quantity of electricity if passed through molten AlCl is :

  • A. \( 4.5 \mathrm{g} \)
  • B. \( 9.0 \mathrm{g} \)
  • C. \( 13.5 \mathrm{g} \)
  • D. 27 g

Step-by-step solution

Same quantity of electricity deposits equivalent weights of substances. Equivalent weight of K = 39/1 = 39, of Al = 27/3 = 9. Given 19.5 g K (0.5 equivalents), mass of Al = 0.5 × 9 = 4.5 g.
