In our book it has been written that the amount of charge that deposits of 0.0011183 grams of silver in the cathode at silver nitrate solution while elctrolysing silver nitrate solution is known as one coulomb charge. Now our question is “ Why is ‘Silver Nitrate’ solution used in the definition….?????
According to a science journal the number of coulombs which are needed to deposit 107.88 grms of silver 9one gram atom) which is equal to 107.88/0.001118 or 96,494 coulombs. This number of coulombs has been found by experience to be the smallest amount of electricity which will produce an electrochemical change in a gram atom or gram molecule of any chemical change……….what does this mean…..i want some more comments on this…….why is silver nitrate used in the definition ????
