Required
Mass of copper
Solution
Faraday's law:
<em>The mass of the substance formed at each electrode is proportional to the electric current flowing in the electrolysis</em>
<em /><em />
e = Ar / valence = eqivalent weight
i = current
t = time
W = weight
CuSO₄ ----> Cu²⁺ + SO₄²⁻
Cu ----> Cu²⁺ + 2e
e = Ar/2
= 63,5/2 = 31,75
