Passage of same quantity of electricity need not result in deposition or liberation of the same amount of metal or non-metal.
Same quantity of electricity being used to liberate iodine (at anode) and a metal (at cathode). The mass of metal liberated at cathode is 0.617 g and the liberated iodine completely reduced by 46.3 ml of 0.124 M sodium thiosulphate solution. What is equivalent weight of metal?
Same quantity of electricity is being used to liberate iodine (at anode) and a metal x (at cathode). The mass of x deposited is 0.6 g and the iodine is completely reduced by 50 cc of 0.1M sodium thiosulphate. Find the equivalent mass of x.
