Question:medium

An aqueous solution of CuSO$_4$ solution is electrolysed for 193 s with a current of 2.5 amp. Given that the atomic mass of Cu is 63.5 and F = 96500 coulombs, the amount of copper deposited at the anode is

Show Hint

Always ensure time is in seconds for Faraday's law calculations. Double-check the valency (n-factor) for the ion being deposited. Remember that cations deposit at the cathode (negative electrode) and anions (or less reactive substances like O$_2$) are liberated at the anode (positive electrode).
