Solution

The correct option is A 1.6×1019C
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)
e=FN
e=965006×1023
e=16083.33×1023
e=1.6×1019C
