Question 1 Report

The cost of discharging 6.0g of a divalent metal, X from its salt is ₦12.00. What is the cost of discharging 9.0g of a trivalent metal, Y from its salt under the same condition?

[X = 63, Y = 27, 1F = 96,500C]

N12.00

N27.00

N63.00

N95.00

Answer Details

For X: X $^{2 +}$ + 2e $^{-}$ $\to$ X
2F = 63g
xF = 6g
x = $\frac{6 \times 2}{63} = \frac{4}{21} F$
$\frac{4}{21}$ F = N12.00
1F = $\frac{12}{\frac{4}{21}}$
= N63.00
1F is equivalent to N63.00.
For Y: Y $^{3 +}$ + 3e $^{-}$ $\to$ Y
3F = 27g
xF = 9g
x = $\frac{3 \times 9}{27}$
= 1F
1F = N63.00
