Question
Through a solution of CuSO4 a current of 3 amperes was passed for 2 hours. At cathode 3 g of Cu2+ ions were discharged. The current efficiency is [At. wt. of Cu = 63.5]
Options
A.33.3%
B.42.2%
C.48.7%
D.54.4%
Solution
According to law of electrolysis, Mass deposited (m) - Z i t
or i =
Here, m = 3g, t = 2 t = 2 × 60 × 60 = 7200sec
Z =
; Eq. wt = 
∴ i =
= 1.266A
