A metal plate of dimension of \(\left(1 \times 2 \mathrm{~cm}^2\right)\) has to be coated on both the sides by \(\mathrm{Cu}\) metal. How long does it take to deposit \(\mathrm{Cu}\) of \(0.01 \mathrm{~cm}\) thickness, if \(1.5 \mathrm{~A}\) current is used? [Electrochemical equivalence of \(\mathrm{Cu}\) is \(0.0003 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{C}\) and the density of \(\mathrm{Cu}\) is \(\left.9 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^3\right]\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 800 s

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Step I : Calculate volume \[ \begin{aligned} & =\text { area } \times \text { thickness }(\text { two times) } \\ & =1 \times 2 \mathrm{~cm}^2 \times 2 \times 0.01=0.04 \end{aligned} \] Step II : Mass of material deposited…
