If 0.50 L of a 0.60 M SnSo4 solution is electrolysed for a period of 30 mins. Using a current of 4.60 A. If inert electrode are used, what is the final concentration of Smn2+ remaining in the solution? ( at.wt. of Sn=119)

Dear Student,

Q=I×t   = 4.60×30×60    = 8280 C1 mol of electrons = 96500 CTherefore, Moles of electrons passed in the circuit =828096500=0.0858Sn2+(aq) + 2e-  Sn(s)It takes two moles of electrons to form one mole of SnTherefore, moles of Sn = 0.08582=0.0429Moles of Sn = Moles of Sn2+Concentration of Sn2+=0.04290.50=0.0858 MFinal concentration of Sn2+=0.60-0.0858 =0.514 M
