Question

Identify the electrolyte which deposits maximum amount of cathodic product for the passage of 1 faraday of electricity.

• A. $FeC{l}_2$
• B. $FeB{r}_3$
• C. $AgN{O}_3$
• D. $CuS{O}_4$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$AgN{O}_3$

1 faraday of electricity deposits one equivalent of product at the respective electrode. Equivalent weight of $Ag$ being maximum $\left(108g\right)$, AgNO${}_3$, is the electrolyte.
