An aqueous solution of a vanadium chloride salt is electrolyzed by a current of 3.00 A passing through the solution for 60.0 min. If 5.70 g of vanadium is produced at the cathode during this time, what is the likely formula unit for the vanadium salt

From the information in the question, the formula unit of the salt is given as VCl.

The quantity of charge produced is obtained from;

Q = It

I = current (3 A), t = time (3600 s)

Q = 3 A × 3600 s

Q = 10800 C

Now we need to find the number of electrons transferred as follows;

51 g of Vanadium is deposited by 96500n C

5.70 g is deposited by 10800 C

5.70 × 96500n = 51 × 10800

n =  51 × 10800/5.70 × 96500

n = 1

The formula of the salt is VCl.
