A current of 1.6 A is passed through a solution of CuSO ₄ . How many Cu ⁺⁺ ions are liberated in one minute? (electronic charge =1.6 10⁻¹⁹ C )

Step-by-step solution

i=1.6 ~A , t=1 minute =60 ~s Charge on one Cu ⁺⁺=2 e Let n Cu ⁺⁺ are liberated from aligned Q & =n e i t & =n(2 e) 1.6 60 & =n (2 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ ) n & =3 10²⁰ ions aligned
