From the information in the question, the formula unit of the salt is given as VCl.
The quantity of charge produced is obtained from;
Q = It
I = current (3 A), t = time (3600 s)
Q = 3 A × 3600 s
Q = 10800 C
Now we need to find the number of electrons transferred as follows;
51 g of Vanadium is deposited by 96500n C
5.70 g is deposited by 10800 C
5.70 × 96500n = 51 × 10800
n = 51 × 10800/5.70 × 96500
n = 1
The formula of the salt is VCl.
