JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 2. Electrochemistry

A solution of copper sulphate \((CuSO_4)\) is electrolysed for \(10\, minutes\) with a current of \(1.5\, amperes\). The mass of copper deposited at the cathode (at . mass of \(Cu = 63\,u\)) is ............ \(\mathrm{g}\)

  1. A \(0.3892\)
  2. B \(0.2938\)
  3. C \(0.2398\)
  4. D \(0.3928\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0.2938\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(W=Zit\) where \(Z\,=\) Electrochemical equivalent Eq. wt. of copper \(=\,\frac {63}{2}=31.5\) \(Z\,=\,\frac {31.5}{96500}\) \(W\, = \,Zit\, = \,\frac{{31.5}}{{96500}}\, \times \,1.5\, \times 10 \times 60\, = \,0.2938\,g\)
