Question:medium

A current of 1.5 A is passed for 2 hours through an aqueous solution of PdX\(_n\), where X is a monovalent anion. During the electrolysis process 2.977 g of Palladium metal gets deposited at the cathode. Calculate the charge on Pd ions. (Atomic mass of Pd = 106.4 g/mol).

Show Hint

In electrolysis problems, use the formula \( m = \frac{M \cdot I \cdot t}{n \cdot F} \) to calculate the amount of substance deposited at the cathode. Remember that \( n \) corresponds to the number of electrons involved in the reduction half-reaction.
