The correct answer is: 75 sec
Number of moles of Cr3+ before electrolysis =MV (mol)1000
=0.2×2501000=0.05
Number of moles of Cr3+ after electrolysed =MV1000
=0.1×2501000=0.025
Number of moles of Cr3+ electrolysed =0.05-0.025=0.025
Mass of chromium electrolysis =0.025×52=1.3 g
Equivalent mass of chromium =Atomic massValency of ions
