Q2.12 (i):
How much charge is required for the following reduction:
(i) 1 mol of (Al^{3+}) to Al?
Solution :
Step 1: Chemical Reaction and Stoichiometry
To determine the charge required for the reduction of the $Al^{3+}$ ion to metallic aluminum ($Al$), we must first write the balanced half-reaction that defines the process:
$Al^{3+}(aq) + 3e^- \rightarrow Al(s)$
[Per the definition of reduction, this reaction represents the gain of electrons by an ion to reach its neutral metallic state].
Step 2: Identifying Electron Moles
From the balanced equation, we observe the stoichiometry of the electron transfer:
- The reduction of $1 \text{ mole}$ of $Al^{3+}$ ions requires $3 \text{ moles}$ of electrons ($e^-$).
Step 3: Calculating Total Charge (Faraday's Law)
According to Faraday’s Laws of Electrolysis, the total charge ($Q$) is given by the product of the number of moles of electrons ($n$) and the Faraday constant ($F$):
$Q = n \times F$
[Where $F$ is the charge of $1 \text{ mole}$ of electrons, approximately $96487 \text{ C mol}^{-1}$, often approximated as $96500 \text{ C mol}^{-1}$ in academic contexts].
Step 4: Substitution and Calculation
Substituting the known values into the equation:
$Q = 3 \text{ mol} \times 96500 \text{ C mol}^{-1}$
$Q = 289500 \text{ C}$
Visual Representation of Electron Transfer
Final Solution: The charge required for the reduction of 1 mol of $Al^{3+}$ to $Al$ is 289,500 Coulombs.
