Cells $A$ and $B$ contain aqueous solutions of ferrous chloride $(FeCl_2)$ and ferric chloride $(FeCl_3)$ respectively. If the same quantity of electricity is passed through both cells, what is the ratio of the mass of iron deposited in cell $A$ to that in cell $B$?

  • A
    $1 : 1$
  • B
    $2 : 1$
  • C
    $3 : 1$
  • D
    $3 : 2$
