Question

6. A solution of $CuSO_4$ is electrolysed for 965 seconds with a current of 20 A. If the current efficiency is 50%, what is the amount of Copper deposited at the cathode? (Atomic weight Cu = 63.5)

Answer: B

💡 Solution & Explanation

Actual current $I_{eff} = 20 \times 0.50 = 10$ A. Total charge $Q = 10 \times 965 = 9650$ C. For $Cu^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow Cu$, equivalent weight = 63.5 / 2 = 31.75. Mass deposited = $\frac{E \times Q}{96500} = \frac{31.75 \times 9650}{96500} = 3.175$ g.
