The cost of discharging 6.0g of a divalent metal, X from its salt is ₦12.00. What is the cost of discharging 9.0g of a trivalent metal, Y from its salt under the same condition?
[X = 63, Y = 27, 1F = 96,500C]
For X: X\(^{2+}\) + 2e\(^-\) \(\to\) X
2F = 63g
xF = 6g
x = \(\frac{6 \times 2}{63} = \frac{4}{21} F\)
\(\frac{4}{21}\)F = N12.00
1F = \(\frac{12}{\frac{4}{21}}\)
= N63.00
1F is equivalent to N63.00.
For Y: Y\(^{3+}\) + 3e\(^-\) \(\to\) Y
3F = 27g
xF = 9g
x = \(\frac{3 \times 9}{27}\)
= 1F
1F = N63.00
