A current of 0.5 A flowing 3h Deposits 2g of metal during electrolysis. The quantity of the same metal that would be deposited by the currents of 1.5A flowing in 1h is
A
2g
B
6g
C
10g
D
18g
correct option: a

From Faradays Law, mass deposited during electrolysis is given by

M = ItZ

=> Z = M/(It)

= __2
0.5x3x60x60

For a current of 1.5A flowing for 1h, the mass M, deposited is given by

M= ZiT

= 2 / (0.5x3x60x60) x 0.5x1x60x60 / 1

= 2.0g

M = 2.0g
