What number of moles of Cu 2+ will be deposited by 360 coulombs of electricity?
[f = 96500 C mol -1]

A.

5.36 x 10 -4 mole

B.

1. 87 x 10 10 -3 mole

C.

9. 35 x 10 -4 mole

D.

3. 73 x 10 -3

Correct answer is B

Cu2+ + 2e(aq) Cu(s)

Liberating 1 mole of Cu

2 x 1F = 2 x 96,500C = 193,000C of electricity is needed

Hence, 193,000C = 1 mole

360C of electricity = 360C×1mol193,000C

= 0.001865 mol

= 1.87 x 103 moles
