Expert Solution
Step 1

The quantitative relationship between the amount of electricity passed through a cell and the amount of substance discharged at the electrode is known as electrolysis.

Step 2

Given information:

Mass of aluminium = 24.5 g

Time taken = 12 hours and 35 minutes

1 hour = 60 minutes1 minute = 60 second12 hours = 12×60×60 sec              = 43200 sec35 minutes =35×60 sec                 =2100 sec

Time in seconds = 43200+2100 sec

                           = 45300 sec

Molar mass of aluminium = 27 g/mole

Valency of aluminium = 3
