How many seconds (s) are needed to deposit 3.62 g of copper metal from an aqueous solution of CuCl2, using a current of 5.3 Amps. Express your answer to the correct number of significant figures, in scientific notation and include the unit in your answer.

Q: 05 g Ru is produced at the cathode, what is the charge on the ruthenium ions in solution?

A: Dear student I have given answer to your question in the image format.

Electrolysis

Electrolysis is defined as the process of breaking down ionic compounds into their constituent elements by passing a direct electric current through the compound in a fluid state. The cathode reduces cations, while the anode oxidizes anions. An electrolyte, electrodes, and some form of external power source are the main components required for conducting electrolysis. A partition, such as an ion-exchange membrane or a salt bridge, may also be used, but this is optional. These are primarily used to prevent the products from diffusing near the opposing electrode.
