Solution

Al3++3eAl
The number of moles of Al = 13 g27 g/mol=0.48 mol
1 mole of Al is produced by 3 moles of electrons.
0.48 mole of Al is produced by 3×0.48=1.44 moles of electrons. This corresponds to 1.44 faradays of electricity.
Note: 1 faraday of electricity corresponds to 1 mole of electrons.
