Faraday's constant represents: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Faraday's constant represents:
A. Charge on one mole of electrons
B. Charge on one electron
C. Mass of one electron
D. Avogadro's number
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Faraday constant (F) = 96485 C/mol, approximately 96500 C/mol. It is the magnitude of electric charge per mole of electrons. Charge on one electron = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C, multiplied by Avogadro's number gives F. Used in electrolysis calculations: mass deposited = (Q × M)/(n × F).

Question #1
The process of heating an ore strongly in the absence of air is called:
A. Smelting
B. Roasting
C. Calcination
D. Leaching

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Calcination is the process of heating a concentrated ore strongly in the absence or limited supply of air. It is typically used for carbonate ores to drive off volatile impurities like CO₂ and H₂O (e.g., CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂). Roasting is done in the presence of excess air.

Question #2
The process used for the manufacture of ammonia is:
A. Haber's process
B. Solvay process
C. Contact process
D. Ostwald's process

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Ammonia (NH₃) is manufactured by the Haber process, which involves the direct combination of nitrogen and hydrogen gases at high pressure (200 atm) and moderate temperature (450°C) in the presence of an iron catalyst. The Contact process is for sulfuric acid, and Ostwald's is for nitric acid.

Question #3
The valency of aluminium in AlCl₃ is:
A. 3
B. 4
C. 2
D. 1

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
In AlCl₃, aluminium combines with three chlorine atoms. Chlorine has a valency of 1 (needs one electron to complete its octet). By the criss-cross method, Al has valency 3 because it loses three electrons to achieve a stable octet (Al³⁺). Thus, the formula is AlCl₃. Aluminium's electronic configuration is 2,8,3, so it loses three valence electrons. Exam tip: Valency equals the number of electrons lost, gained, or shared to complete octet.
