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.
