Vedclass · Answer

(D) According to Faraday's second law of electrolysis,the mass of different substances deposited by the same quantity of electricity is proportional to their equivalent weights.Number of equivalents of $Ag$ $=$ Number of equivalents of $Cu$.Equivalent weight of $Ag = \frac{	ext{Atomic mass of } Ag}{	ext{Valency of } Ag} = \frac{108}{1} = 108$.Equivalent weight of $Cu = \frac{	ext{Atomic mass of } Cu}{	ext{Valency of } Cu} = \frac{63.5}{2} = 31.75$.Using the formula: $\frac{	ext{Mass of } Ag}{	ext{Equivalent weight of } Ag} = \frac{	ext{Mass of } Cu}{	ext{Equivalent weight of } Cu}$.$\frac{10.79}{108} = \frac{	ext{Mass of } Cu}{31.75}$.$	ext{Mass of } Cu = \frac{10.79 	imes 31.75}{108} \approx 3.17 \ g \approx 3.2 \ g$.
