In this lesson, we will learn how to use the Faraday constant to calculate the mass or volume of substances liberated during electrolysis.
Students will be able to
Equivalent weight (gram equivalent)
Q1:
What is the charge of a mole of electrons? The charge of a single electron is 1.60×10 C .
Q2:
The reduction of aluminum ions is described by the ionic half-equation Al()+3eAl()3+–aqs [Al=27g/mol]
What charge, to 2 decimal places and in scientific notation, must be delivered to reduce 200 kg of aluminum ions to aluminum metal? The charge of a single electron is 1.602×10 C.
Q3:
The reduction of lithium ions can be represented by the ionic half-equation Li()+eLi()+–ls [Li=7g/mol]
How many electrons are required per lithium ion to produce lithium metal?
