Solution

The correct option is B 0.5 F
Ca2++2eCa
Number of moles of Ca=10g40g/mol=0.25mol
1 mole Ca requires =2 moles of electrons =2 faradays of electricity.
0.25 mole Ca=2×0.25=0.50 moles of electrons =0.5 faradays of electricity.
Hence, 0.5 Faradays of electricity are required to deposit 10 g of calcium from molten calcium chloride using inert electrodes.
