W=ZxCxt

C.E. = 96500 x E.C.E.

W1 C.E.1
____ = ------
W2 C.E.2

Atomic wt.
Eq. wt (c.E.) = -------------
Valency
1. 10.07 gm of silver is deposited when 5 amp current was passed through
AgNO3 solution for half an hour. Calculate E.C.E of Ag.

Given : W= 10.07 gm
C = 5 amp
t = 0.5 hrs = 0.5 x 60 x 60 = 1800 sec
E.C.E. = ?

ACC to faraday first law,

W=ZxCxt

Z= W ⁼ 10.07 ⁼ 0.00118 g/c

Cxt 5 x 1800

E.C.E. = 0.001118 g/c

2. A current of 3 amp passing through silver nitrate solution for 20 minutes
deposit 4.0 g of silver. What is the E.C.E. of silver?

Given: C = 3amp, t = 20 min. , W = 4.0 g , Z = ?

3. A current of 3 amp passing through silver nitrate solution for 20 minutes

deposit 4.0 g of silver. What is the E.C.E. and C.E. of silver?

Given: C = 3amp, t = 20 min. , W = 4.0 g , Z = ? , C.E. = ?

4. A current of 4.0 amp was passed through a solution of CuSO4 for 30 min.
Calculate the amount of Cu deposited on the cathode( Eq. wt of Cu is 31.77)

Given: C= 4amp, t= 30 min, C.E. = 31.77, W=?

Formulae : W = Z x C x t

We have, C.E. = Z x 96500

Z = C.E. / 96500
= 31.77 / 96500
= 0.00032 g/c

From faraday first law,

W= ZxCx t
= 0.00032 x 4 x 1800
= 2.370 g

Amount of Cu deposited is 2.370g

5. What quantity of electricity is necessary to deposit 0.216 gm of silver from
its solution of silver nitrate? (At wt of Ag = 108)

Given : W= 0.216 gm, At. Wt. = 108, C=?

Eq. wt of Ag = Atomic wt. / valency

= 108/1
= 108
As
C.E. = Z x 96500

Z = C.E. / 96500 = 108 / 96500 = 0.00111 g/c

From Faraday first law,

W=ZxCxt

C x t = W / Z = 0.216 / 0.00111 = 194.59 coulombs

Q = 194.59 cpulombs
6. A given quantity of electricity is passed through two cells containing
CuSO4 and AgNO3 solutions respectively. If 0.99 gram Ag and 0.29 gram
Cu are deposited, find eq. wt. of Ag ( Eq. wt. of Cu = 31.6)

Given : W1(Ag) = 0.99g ,

W2(Cu) = 0.29 g
C.E. (Cu) = 31.6
C.E. (Ag) = ?

W1(Ag) / W2(Cu) = C.E. (Ag) / C.E. (Cu)

0.99 / 0.29 = C.E. (Ag) / 31.6

C.E. (Ag) = 0.99 x 31.6 / 0.29

= 107.87

Eq. wt of Cu = 107.87
