Solution
The correct option is D6:3:2:6 AgNO3+e−⟶Ag+NO−3
1 mole of AgNO3 required 1 mole of e− or 1 Faraday of electricity.
Thus 3F is used for 3 mole of AgNO3 .
CuSO4+2e−⟶Cu+SO2−4
1 mole of CuSO4 required 2 Faraday of charge.
Thus 3 Faraday of charge will deposit 32 mole of CuSO4 .
Al(MO3)3+3e− & Al+3NO−3
3F of charge is required for 1 mole of Al(NO3)3 .
NaCl+e−⟶Na+Cl−
1F of charge required for 1 mole of NaCl .
Thus, 3F of charge is required for 3 mole of NaCl .
