QuestionElectrochemistry / transport number
A solution of 0·01 M electrolyte (AX) with conductivity 4 × 10⁻³ S cm⁻¹ is placed in a moving boundary cell of cross-sectional area 3·0 cm². It was electrolysed for 45 min. with a constant current of 3·0 mA. The observed boundary moved 2·0 cm. The transport number of the cation A⁺ is : (where, Faraday’s constant = 96500 C mol⁻¹)
- (a) 0·30
- (b) 0·52
- (c) 0·71
- (d) 0·83
