Answer:
It will take 28.5 minutes
Explanation:
<u>Step 1: </u>Data given
Mass of Cu = 4.50 grams
8.00 A of current are used
Molar mass of Cu = 63.5 g/mol
Step 2: Calculate time needed
Cu2+ →Electricity → Cu
we notice a flow of 2 electrons ⇒ This means the Faraday constant = 2F
Since Molar mass of Cu is 63.5 g/mol
63.5 grams of Cu is deposited by 2*96500 C
4.50 grams of Cu ((2*96500)/63.5) * 4.50 = 13677.17 C
Q = It
13677.17 = 8t*60 seconds
t = 28.5 minutes
Answer:
In a fossil fuel power plant the chemical energy stored in fossil fuels such as coal, fuel oil, natural gas or oil shale and oxygen of the air is converted successively into thermal energy, mechanical energy and, finally, electrical energy.
