Solution
The correct option is A−1.6×10−19C
Faraday constant (i.e. charge of 96500 C) is equal to the quantity of electricity carried by one mole of charge carriers. Here, one Faraday charge deposited 1 g atom of monovalent silver, hence
F=Ne
where, N and e are Avogadro number and charge on a sliver ion in Coulombs respectively.
Since, the positive charge on a sliver ion is equal in magnitude to that of an electron.
F=N(−e)................(as electrons are negatively charged)
