Step 1.
A metal forms the fluoride. The half-reaction corresponding to the electrolysis of molten fluoride is,
The valency of metal is 3 because the metal is in oxidation state. Three electrons are transferred.
The molar mass of the metal (M) is calculated by the formula,
.....(1)
Where,
- is the mass of metal deposited.
- is number of electrons transferred.
