Correct answer: A
-
Write the cathode reaction
In aqueous , copper ions are reduced at the cathode:
-
Use Faraday's law of electrolysis
- mole of requires moles of electrons.
- Faraday mole of electrons.
Therefore:
- Faraday moles of electrons
- This will deposit:
-
Convert moles of copper to mass
Atomic mass of copper
So deposited mass:
-
Match with the options
The correct option is:
-
Compare with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer:
My derived answer is also , so they agree.
