How many electrons flow through a metllic wire if a current of 0·5 A is passed for 2 hours? (Given : 1 F = 96,500 C mol−1)

उत्तर
I = 0.5 A
t = 2 hours = 2 × 60 × 60 s = 7200 s
Thus, Q = It
= 0.5 A × 7200 s
= 3600 C
We know that 96500 C = 6.023 × 1023 number of electrons.
Then,
3600 C = `(6.023 xx 10^23 xx 3600)/96500` number of electrons
= 2.25 x 1022 number of electrons
Hence 2.25 x 1022 number of electrons will flow through the wire

Oxidation-reduction reactions are commonly known as redox reactions. They involve transfer of electrons from one species to another. In a spontaneous reaction, energy is released which can be used to do useful work. The reaction is split into two half-reactions. Two different containers are used and a wire is used to drive the electrons from one side to the other and a Voltaic/Galvanic cell is created. It is an electrochemical cell that uses spontaneous redox reactions to generate electricity. A salt bridge also connects to the half-cells. The reading of the voltmeter gives the cell voltage or cell potential or electromotive force. If \[\ce{E^0_{cell}}\] is positive the reaction is spontaneous and if it is negative the reaction is non-spontaneous and is referred to as electrolytic cell. Electrolysis refers to the decomposition of a substance by an electric current. One mole of electric charge when passed through a cell will discharge half a mole of a divalent metal ion such as Cu2+. This was first formulated by Faraday in the form of laws of electrolysis.
