Solution

The correct option is A 1 faraday
1 faraday of electricity is required for the deposition of 9 grams of aluminium.
The atomic mass of Al is 27g/mol. 9g of Al corresponds to 927=0.333 moles.
Al3++3eAl
3 moles of electrons are required for the deposition of 27 grams (1 mole) of aluminium.
1 mole of electrons is required for the deposition of 9 grams of aluminium.
1 mole of electrons = 1 faraday of electricity.
Hence, 1 faraday of electricity is required for the deposition of 9 grams of aluminium.
