Chapter 18, Problem 14SAQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The copper is given to be plated onto the cathode of an electrolytic cell containing ${\text{CuCl}}_{\text{2}}\left(aq\right)$ . The correct option for time taken by ${\text{CuCl}}_{\text{2}}\left(aq\right)$ to plate $111\text{mg}$ of copper with a current of $3.8\text{A}$ is to be identified.

Concept Introduction: The time taken by ${\text{CuCl}}_{\text{2}}\left(aq\right)$ solution to plate copper is calculated by the formula,

$t=\frac{n\times \text{F}}{I}$

To determine: The correct option for time taken by ${\text{CuCl}}_{\text{2}}\left(aq\right)$ to plate $111\text{mg}$ of copper with a current of $3.8\text{A}$ .

Correct answer: The correct option is (c).
