What amount of mercury would be liberated if the same quantity of electricity that liberates 0.65g of zinc is applied?
A
2.01g
B
1.00g
C
4.02g
D
8.04g
correct option: c

Zn2+ + 2e- → Zn

2F will be liberated 65g of Zn, if 0.65gm of Zn is liberated, the quantity of electricity used

X = (0.65/65) * 2

= 0.02F

∴ Hg+ + e- → Hg1

i.e 1F → 201gm of Hg

∴ 0.02 will liberated

Y = (0.02/1) * 201

= 4.02g
