A current is passed through two voltameters connected in series. The first voltmeter connected in series. The first voltmeter contains XSO4(aq) while the second voltmeter contains Y2SO4(aq). The relative atomic masses of X and Y are in the ratio of 2:1. The ratio of the mass of X liberated to the mass of Y liberated is:
1. 1:1
2. 1:2
3. 2:1
4. None of the above
Al2O3 is reduced by electrolysis at low potentials and high currents. If 4.0 x 104 A of current is passed through molten Al2O3 for 6 h, what mass of aluminium is produced? (Assume 100% current efficiency, atomic mass of Al = 27g mol-1)
1. 9.0 x 103 g
2. 8.1 x 104 g
3. 2.4 x 105 g
4. 1.3 x 104 g
