Q30 / 90 · JEE Main 2015 (04 Apr) · Chemistry

Two Faraday of electricity is passed through a solution of CuSO4 . The mass of copper deposited at the cathode is: (Atomic mass of Cu = 63.5 amu)

  • A
    127 g
  • B
    0 g
  • Correct answer
    C
    63.5 g
  • D
    2 g

Solution

Cu+2 + 2e- → Cu

2 Faraday charge deposits 1 mol of Cu, or

2 F≡2 Equivalents of Cu

Mass of Cu deposited=2×63.52=63.5g

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
