JEE Main levelNumerical answerDifficulty 2 of 3ec05
Two electrolytic cells containing AgNOX3 and AuClX3 solutions are connected in series. When 2.158 g of silver is deposited in the first cell, the mass of gold deposited in the second cell (in g, two decimals) is. (Ag = 107.9, Au = 197)
Numerical answer type, answer in g, tolerance 0.01.
Answer: 1.31 g
Same charge passes through both. Moles of electrons =2.158/107.9=0.0200. AuX3+ needs 3 electrons per atom, so moles of Au =0.0200/3 and mass =(0.0200/3)×197=1.313g≈1.31g.
