W = MCt/ZF
Cu^2+ (aq) + 2e^- -------------> Cu(s)
Z = 2
F = 96500c
C = 30A
t = 4h = 4*60*60 = 14400sec
atomic masss of Cu (M) = 63.5g/mole
W = Mct/ZF
= 63.5*30*14400/2*96500 = 142g
part-B
W = 46.1g
C = 5A
Au^+ (aq) + e^- -----------> Au(s)
Z = 1
F = 96500c
M = 196.96g/mole
W = Mct/ZF
t = WZF/Mc
= 46.1*1*96500/196.96*5 = 4517.3sec
= 4517.3/60 = 75.3minutes >>>>>answer
