Question

In the electrolysis of aqueous solution of CuCl2 copper is deposited on the

negative electrode and chlorine gas liberated on the positive electrode at

300 K temperature and 1 bar pressure. How much copper and chlorine gas

will be liberated if 2.0 ampere current is passed for 1 hour? (F =

96500 Coulomb) (Cu = 63.5u, Cl = 35.3 u)

(R = 0.08314 bar Litre mol
