Example 9. In an electrolysis experiment, a current was passed for 5 hours through two cells connected in series. The first cell contains a solution of gold salt and the second cell contains copper sulphate solution. 9.85 g of gold was deposited in the first cell. If the oxidation number of gold is +3, find the amount of cop- per deposited on the cathode in the second cell. Also, calculate the magnitude of the current in ampere.
