Expert Solution
Introduction

This problem can be solved by using Faraday's first law of electrolysis accordingto which weight of the substance deposited can be calculated as :                                   W=ZItwhere W is the weight of the substance deposited            Z is the electrochemical equivalent             I is the current passed             t is the time
