In the electrolysis of a CuSO4 solution, how many grams of Cu are plated out on the cathode, in the time that is required to liberate 5.6 L of O2( g), measured at 1 atm and 273 K, at the anode?

  1. A 31.75 g
  2. B 14.2 g
  3. C 4.32 g
  4. D 3.175 g
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 31.75 g

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The mole of oxygen = Given volumeMolar volume=5.622.4=0.25 mol Equivalent of oxygen = n-factor×mole n-factor=4 Equivalent of oxygen=4×0.25=1 So, Equivalent of oxygen = Equivalent of copper Equivalent mass of copper= Molar massn-factor=63.52…
