Answer:
The metal is the cathode
The metal is palladium
At the other cathode, the reaction going on is
M(s) ------> M2^+(aq) + 2e
Chlorine can spontaneously react with Pd converting it to Pd^2+
The molar mass of the metal is 106.4 g of M
Explanation:
Given the formula of the compound, M^2+ ion is involved. The equation of the reaction is;
M^2+(aq) + 2e -------------> M(s)
The number of moles of electrons transferred = 2 moles
1 mole of electron = 96500C
And Q= It
Where I= current
t= time taken in seconds
Now;
x g of the metal (its molar mass) is deposited by 2×96500 C
1.87 g of the metal is deposited by (2.50× 22.6×60) C
x = 1.87 × 2×96500/ 2.50 × 22.6 × 60
x= 360910/3390
x= 106.4 g of M
The metal is the cathode
The metal is palladium
At the other cathode, the reaction going on is
M(s) ------> M2^+(aq) + 2e
Chlorine can spontaneously react with Pd converting it to Pd^2+
