Question

How much electricity in terms of Faraday is required to produce 20 g of \[\ce{Ca}\] from molten \[\ce{CaCl2}\]?

(Given: Molar mass of Calcium is 40 g mol−1.)

Numerical

Solution

\[\ce{CaCl2 -> Ca^{2+} + 2Cl-}\]

40 g of calcium needs = 2 mole of electrons

= 2 × 96500 coulombs

∴ 20 g of calcium needs = 96500 coulombs (1F)
