Moles of electrons:
The moles of electrons that are transferred are 12F
A balanced equation:
2 moles of Aluminium metal react with excess copper(II) nitrate.
Given:
Moles of Aluminium = 2
As Aluminium goes from 0 to +3 oxidation state
And copper goes from +2 to 0
On balancing the number of electrons we get:
For 1 mole of Al is required.
Therefore for 2 moles of Al,
Total F mole of electrons
Where F= Faraday's constant= 96500 C
So, 12F moles of electrons are transferred.
