The charge needed to deposit 108 g of silver is

  • A.193 000 C
  • B.1 C
  • C.96 500 C
  • D.48 250 C

Answer: C

Correct answer: 96 500 C

Silver is univalent, so its equivalent mass equals its atomic mass of 108, and 108 g is therefore exactly one gram equivalent. One gram equivalent requires one faraday, which is 96,500 coulombs. This is the classical silver coulometer, and it is how the faraday was originally determined.
