A solution of \(CuSO_4\) is electrolysed for \(10\ min\) with a current of \(1.5\ A\).
What is the mass of copper deposited at the cathode?
(Molar mass of \(Cu = 63\ g\ mol^{-1}\), \(1F = 96487\ C\))

  1. A \(2.93\ g\)
  2. B \(3.4\ g\)
  3. C \(1.9\ g\)
  4. D \(0.2938\ g\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(0.2938\ g\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(t = 10 \text{ min} \times 60 \text{ s/min} = 600 \text{ s}\) \(m = \frac{M \times I \times t}{n \times F}\) \(m = \frac{63 \text{ g/mol} \times 1.5 \text{ A} \times 600 \text{ s}}{2 \times 96487 \text{ C/mol}}\) \(m = 0.2938 \text{ g}\)
