Solution

The correct option is C

7.6g


Step 1: Charge=0.05F

Step 2: Amount of PbSO4 precipitated =W

Step 3: Molar mass of PbSO4 303g/mol

According to Faraday’s 1st law of electrolysis:

1stmethod:

W=E×Q

E=M/2

W=303×0.05/2=7.6g

2nd method:

Pb2++SO42-PbSO4

For 2F current passed, PbSO4 deposited=303g/mol

For 0.05Fcurrent passed, PbSO4 deposited=W

W=303×0.05/2=7.6g

Therefore, the amount of PbSO4 precipitated =7.6g
