If 1 A of current is passed through CuSO ₄ solution for 10 s , the number of copper atoms deposite at the cathode will be about
Options
- A1.6 10²⁰
- B8 10¹⁹
- C3.1 10¹⁹
- D6.2 10¹⁹
Correct answer
C. 3.1 10¹⁹
Step-by-step solution
Number of Cu ions liberated is array rl n & = I t e( valence electron) n & = 1 10 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 2 n & n=3.125 10¹⁹ n & 3.1 10¹⁹ array
