Answer:
Explanation:
One farad of charge is capable of depositing one gram equivalent of a metal
One gram equivalent of Ag = 108 grams
One gram equivalent of Cd = 112 / 2 grams
= 56 grams . [ for cadmium equivalent mass = atomic mass / s ]
electric charge flowing = current x time = 5 x 600 = 3000 coulomb
one farad = 96500 coulomb
96500 coulomb deposits 108 gram of Ag
3000 coulomb deposits 108 x 3000 / 96500 gram
= 3.35 grams of Ag
Similarly ,
96500 coulomb deposits 56 gram of Cd
3000 coulomb deposits 56 x 3000 / 96500 gram
= 1.74 grams of Cd
So there will be much larger increase in the spoon of Ag due to larger deposit of Ag by charge .
