Gallium is produced by the electrolysis of a solution made by dissolving gallium oxide in concentrated NaOH(aq). Calculate the amount of Ga(s) that can be deposited from a Ga(III) solution using a current of 0.850 A that flows for 60.0 min.

Mass of Ga = 0.73694 gram

Explanation:

Given:

Current = 0.850 A

Time = 60 minutes

Find:

Amount of gas deposit.

Computation:

Total charge = Current × Time in second

Total charge = 0.850 × 60 × 60

Total charge = 3,060 C

Mole of electron = Total charge / Faraday constant         [Faraday constant = 96,485.3329]

Mole of electron = 3,060 / 96,485.3329

Mole of electron = 0.0317146

Moles of Ga = 1/3 [Mole of electron]

Moles of Ga = 1/3 [0.0317146]

Moles of Ga = 0.01057

Mass of Ga = molar mass × Moles of Ga

Mass of Ga = 69.72 × 0.01057

Mass of Ga = 0.73694 gram
