Cadmium amalgam is prepared by electrolysis of a solution of `CdCl_(2)` using a mercury cathode. Find how long a current of 5 ampere should be passed in order to prepare 12% Cd-Hg amalgam on a cathode of 2 g mercury. At mass of Cd=112.40. |

Answer» Correct Answer - `t=93.65sec`. `Cd^(2+)+2e^(-)toCd` Cd required for 2 g of `Hg=(12xx2)/(88)=0.2727g` `t=(2xx96500xx2727)/(1124xx5)=93.65sec`. |
