MCQ
Copper sulphate solution is electrolysed between two platinum electrodes. A current is passed until $1.6 \ g$ of oxygen is liberated at anode. The amount of copper deposited at the cathode during the same period is .............. $\mathrm{g}$ [At. mass of $Cu = 6 3. 6$]
  • $6.36$
  • B
    $63.6$
  • C
    $12.7$
  • D
    $3.2$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$6.36$
a
For $\mathrm{O}_{2}$,   $\mathrm{m}=\frac{\mathrm{E} \times \mathrm{Q}}{\mathrm{nF}}$ and $\mathrm{Q}=\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{E}} \times \mathrm{nF}=0.2\, \mathrm{F}$

For $Cu$,   ${\text{m}} = \frac{{{\text{E}} \times {\text{Q}}}}{{{\text{nF}}}} = $ $\frac{{63.5}}{{2 \times {\text{F}}}} \times 0.2\,{\text{F}} = 6.36\,{\text{g}}$

Hence; $(1)$ is correct.
