Q2.15:
A solution of \(Ni(NO_{3})_{2}\) is electrolysed between platinum electrodes using a current of 5 amperes for 20 minutes. What mass of Ni is deposited at the cathode?
Solution :
Step 1: Identifying Given Parameters and Constants
To determine the mass of Nickel ($Ni$) deposited, we utilize Faraday's Laws of Electrolysis. The following parameters are provided:
- Current ($I$) = $5.0 \, \text{A}$
- Time ($t$) = $20 \, \text{minutes} = 20 \times 60 \, \text{s} = 1200 \, \text{s}$
- Molar Mass of Nickel ($M$) = $58.69 \, \text{g/mol}$
- Valency factor ($n$): For $Ni^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow Ni(s)$, $n = 2$
- Faraday's Constant ($F$) = $96487 \, \text{C/mol}$ (approx. $96500 \, \text{C/mol}$)
Step 2: Calculating Total Charge Transferred
The total quantity of electricity ($Q$) passed through the electrolyte is calculated using the relationship between current and time [Per the definition of electrical charge]:
$Q = I \times t$
$Q = 5.0 \, \text{A} \times 1200 \, \text{s} = 6000 \, \text{C}$
Step 3: Applying Faraday’s First Law of Electrolysis
The mass ($w$) deposited at the electrode is given by the formula derived from Faraday’s Law [Faraday's Second Law of Electrolysis]:
$w = \frac{M \times I \times t}{n \times F}$
Step 4: Final Substitution and Calculation
Substitute the identified values into the governing equation:
$w = \frac{58.69 \, \text{g/mol} \times 6000 \, \text{C}}{2 \times 96487 \, \text{C/mol}}$
$w = \frac{352140}{192974} \, \text{g}$
$w \approx 1.8248 \, \text{g}$
Final Solution: The mass of Nickel deposited at the cathode is approximately 1.825 grams.

I have experience teaching Mathematics to Class 12 students, focusing on building strong conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills. I teach key topics such as Calculus (limits, derivatives, and integrals), Matrices, Determinants, Probability, and Vectors. My teaching approach includes explaining concepts step-by-step, solving examples on the board, and giving practice questions similar to board exam patterns. I regularly conduct revision tests, doubt-clearing sessions, and discuss previous years’ question papers to help students prepare effectively for board examinations. I encourage students to understand the logic behind formulas rather than memorizing them. My goal is to make mathematics easier, improve students’ confidence, and help them achieve good results in Class 12 board exams.
