Answer:
At the cathode
Cu2+ (aq) + 2e- ---> Cu(s)
At the anode4OH-(aq) ----> 2H2O (l) + O2(g) + 4e-
Faraday’s constant = 96500C/mol
To deposit 1 mole of copper, we need 2x96500CSo, 96500C will deposit 0.5 moles of copper = 0.5x63.5 = 31.75g
To liberate one mole of oxygen molecules,we need 4x96500CSo, 96500C will liberate = ¼ = 0.25 moles = 0.25x32 = 8g
hope you will understand
