How much electricity in terms of Faraday is required to produce

(i) 20.0 g of Ca from molten CaCl2?


(ii) 40.0 g of Al from molten Al2O3?


(i) Ca2+ + 2e- Ca


Here, 1 mole of Ca, i.e., 40g of Ca requires = 2 F electricity (F if Faraday)


20g of Ca requires =


= 1 F of electricity


Electricity in terms of Faraday required to produce 20.0 g of Ca from molten CaCl2 is 1 F of electricity.


(ii) Al3 + + 3e - Al


1 mole of Al, i.e., 27g of Al requires = 3 F electricity (F if Faraday)


40.0 g of Al will require =


= 4.44 F of electricity


Electricity in terms of Faraday required to produce 40.0 g of Al from molten Al2O3 is 4.44 F of electricity
