Molten aluminim chloride is electrolysed with a current of 0.5 ampere to produce 27.0 g of aluminium. (a) How many gram equivalents of aluminium were producted ? (b) How long did the electrolysis take place ? (c ) How many litres of chlorine were evolved at S.T.P. ?

Answer»


Solution :The electrolysis of MOLTEN aluminium chloride is represented as :
`AlCl_(3)hArrAl^(3+)(l)+3Cl^(-)(l)`
`Al^(3+)(l)+3e^(-) to Al(s) , 3Cl^(-)(l) to 3//2 Cl_(2)(G)+3e^(-)`
(a) Gram equivalent of aluminium deposited
`=("Mass of Al deposited")/("Equivalent mass of" Al)=(27g)/((9equiv^(1)))=3 g equiv^(-1)`.
(b) TIME for which electrolysis was carried :
`Al^(3+)(l)+underset((3 Faraday))3e^(-) to underset((27 g))Al(s)`
Let the current be passed for time =t sec.
`:.""` Quantity of charge (Q) passed`=(0.5 amp)xxt(s)=0.5xxt(C)`
Actual amout of charge passed`=3F=3xx96500" C"`
`:.` Time (t) for which electrolysis was carried `=(3xx96500(C))/(0.5(C))=579000 s=(579000)/(60xx60)=160.83` hr.
(c ) Litres of CHLORINE EVOLVED :
`3Cl^(-) to underset(3//2xx22.4 L) Cl_(2)(g)+underset(3F)(3e^(-))`
=33.6 L
3 Faraday of charge will evolve `Cl_(2)`(g)=33.6 L.

Molecules of the amino acids that comprise our proteins have the property of being non-super imposable on their mirror images because,. They are said to be chiral or possess 'handedness'. Most of the amino acids are of left handed form, but with no reasons available. Even more interesting recent experiments have shown that a 7-9% excess of four amino acids is present in Murchison meteorite discovered in 1970. This analysis shows life could arise outside the confines of earth. The origin of unequal distribution is probably because of electromagnetic radiations emitted in a corkscrew fashion from the poles of spinning neutron stars could lead to a bias of one mirror image isomer over another when molecules form in interstellar space. A stereogenic carbon can be defined as a carbon atom bearing groups of such nature that an interchange of any two groups will produce a stereoisomer. The device that is used for measuring the effect of optically active compounds on plane polarized light is a polarimeter. The analyser in the polarimeter decides the activity of compound present. This is being decided on the basis of angle by which axis of analyser has to be rotated for complete brightness. Left, right or no adjustment decides l, d - activity or optical inactivity respectively. Stereogenic carbons can bring
