One gm metal M3+ was discharging by the passage of 1.81 *1023 electrons.What is the atomic weight of metal?

For discharging of metal the reaction is :
M3+ + 3e M
Thus 1 mol of the metal is deposited by 3F = 3×96500 C = 289500 C

​Charge on 1.81×1023 electrons =  1.602×10-19 ×1.81​×1023 C
                                                   = 2.9×104 C
289500  C deposit = 1 mol of metal 
Thus 2.9×10C will deposit = 1289500×2.9×104moles metal = 0.100 moles
0.100 moles =  1 g metal
Thus atomic mass of metal = 10 g/mol
