If 12.3 g of Cu is deposited at the cathode of an electrolytic cell after 5.50 h, what was the current used?​

1.88 A

Explanation:

Let's consider the reduction of copper in an electrolytic cell.

Cu²⁺ + 2 e⁻ ⇒ Cu

We can calculate the charge used to deposit 12.3 g of Cu using the following relations.

The charge used is:

We can convert 5.50 h to seconds using the conversion factor 1 h = 3600 s.

5.50 h × 3600 s/1 h = 1.98 × 10⁴ s

The current used is:

I = q/t = 3.73 × 10⁴ C/1.98 × 10⁴ s = 1.88 A

the formula mass of a molecule or a compound is the sum of the atomic weights of the atoms in its empirical formula

(that's what i know about formula mass)
