JEE Main2013ChemistryElectrochemistryActual
A solution of copper sulphate ( CuSO ₄ ) is electrolysed for 10 minutes with a current of 1.5 amperes. The mass of copper deposited at the cathode (at. mass of Cu =63 u ) is :
Options
- A0.3892 ~g
- B0.2938 ~g
- C0.2398 ~g
- D0.3928 ~g
Correct answer
B. 0.2938 ~g
Step-by-step solution
W = Zit where Z = Electrochemical equivalent Eq. wt. of copper = 63 2 =31.5 aligned & Z = 31.5 96500 & ~W = Zit = 31.5 96500 1.5 10 60=0.2938 ~g aligned
