How long would it take to deposit 0.08g of copper from CuCl2 solution by passing a current of 0.5A?
[Cu = 64, F = 96500 C mol-1]

A.

6 mins

B.

8 mins

C.

24 mins

D.

48 mins

Correct answer is B

Cu2+ + 2e → Cu(s)
2 * 96500C deposit 64g of Cu
x quantity of electricity wil deposit 0.08
x = (2 * 96500 * 0.08)/64 =241.25 coulomb.
Q = It
241.25 = 0.5t
t = 241.25/60 = 8 mins
