Which of the following ions require the largest quantity of electricity for discharge at an electrode?
A.
4.0 moles of Cl-
B.
3.0 moles of Na+
C.
2.5 moles of Cu2+
D.
2.0 moles of Al3+
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
To get the quantity of electricity for discharge at an electrode for each ions, we multiply the number of electrons by the number of moles, since 1 mole = 1F
4.0 moles of Cl\(^-\) → 1e\(^-\) x 4 = 4F
3.0 moles of Na\(^+\) → 3e\(^-\) x 1 = 3F
2.5 moles of Cu\(^{2+}\) → 2e\(^-\) x 2.5 = 5F
2.0 moles of Al\(^{3+}\) → 3e\(^-\) x 2 = 6F. The Ions that require the largest quantity of electricity for discharge at an electrode is the Al\(^{3+}\).
