JEE Main 2024 — 5 April, Shift 2 — Question 68

The quantity of silver deposited when one coulomb charge is passed through AgNO3\mathrm{AgNO}_{3} solution:

  1. Option A:

    0.1 g atom of silver

  2. Option B:

    1 chemical equivalent of silver

  3. Option C:

    1 g of silver

  4. Option D:

    1 electrochemical equivalent of silver

    Correct

Answer: D

Step-by-step solution

By Faraday’s First Law of Electrolysis, m=ZQm = ZQ , where ZZ is the electrochemical equivalent.

For Q=1 CQ = 1\,\text{C}

m=Z×1=Zm = Z \times 1 = Z

Hence, the quantity of silver deposited is one electrochemical equivalent of silver.
