The charge on the titanium ion if 0.12A of current passes through the solution for 500 seconds is 8.

How to calculate charge?

The charge of an electrolytic circuit can be calculated using the following formula:

Q = It

Where;

  • Q = charge in coloumbs
  • I = current in Amperes
  • t = time in seconds

According to this question, 0.12A current was electrolyzed through the solution for 500 second. The charge is calculated thus;

Q = 0.12 × 500

Q = 60C

Using M = QM / Fz

Where:

  • m = substance’s mass liberated at the electrode in gms
  • Q = total electric charge which passes through a substance in coulombs (C)
  • F = Faraday constant whose value is 96485.332C mol−1
  • M = substance’s molar mass in gms/mol
  • z = ions’ valence number of a substance

0.015 = 60 × 189.679 ÷ 96485.332 × z

1447.28z = 11380.74

z = 7.9

z = 8

Therefore, the charge on the titanium ion if 0.12A of current passes through the solution for 500 seconds is 8.
