A current of 2.0 A when passed for 5 hours through a molten metal salt, deposits 22.2 g of
metal of atomic weight 177 . The oxidation state of the metal in the metal salt is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
So, from 0.373 Faraday 
metal deposited.
From 1 Faraday 
Atomic wt. of metal 
from 3 F , no. of mole deposited 
So, SF are required for deposition of 1 mole metal.
So, oxidation no.
