The correct answer is e. 3.57*10³

Al³ + (aq) + 3e→AL (s)

4.00g of AL=4g/26.98 g/mol = 0.1483 mol

t=znF/1 where t is time in seceonds.

Z = valency number of ions of the substance or electrons which are transferred per ion

F = Faraday's constant

I = electric current in'A'CA C/s

t = (3*0.1483 mol * 96485 C/mol) / 12 (C15)

t=3577 second = 3.5 * 10³s
