Solution

The correct option is D 2
AlCl3Al3++3Cl
Using faraday's law of electrolysis
w=E.i.tF
where,
w = amount of Al deposited
F= faraday's constant
i = current supplied
t = total time for which current is supplied
E = equivalent weight = Molar mass/ no of electron transfer per mole
put up in equation;
13.5=273i.tF
Q=i.t=1.5F
