Question
Figure shows an electrolyte of AgCl through which a current is passed. It is observed that 2.68g of silver is deposited in 10 minutes on the cathode. Find the heat developed in the $20\Omega$ resistor during this period. Atomic weight of silver is 107.9g/mole.

Answer


$\text{W}=\text{Zit}$
$2.68=\frac{107.9}{96500}\times\text{i}\times10\times60$
$\Rightarrow\text{l}=\frac{2.68\times965}{107.9\times6}=3.99\approx4\text{Amp}$
Heat developed in the $20\Omega$ resister$=(4)^2\times20\times10\times60=192000\text{J}=192\text{KJ}$
