Chapter 18, Problem 18.133SP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The metal ion in ${\text{M(NO}}_3{)}_3$ should be identified.

Concept introduction:

According to Faraday’s law of electrolysis if one Faraday of charge $\text{(96485 C)}$ is passed through an electrolytic solution then one-gram equivalent of the electrolyte will get discharged or electrolyzed, irrespective of nature of electrolyte.

Given:

The amount of current passed is $\text{35}\text{.0 A}$

The time for which current passed is $\text{4}\text{.0 h}$

The mass of metal ion formed is $\text{90}\text{.52 g}$
