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]

6 mins

8 mins

24 mins

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
