Purification of copper can be achieved by electrorefining copper from an impure copper anode onto a pure copper cathode in an el

ectrolytic cell. How many hours will it take to plate 14.0 kg of copper onto the cathode if the current passed through the cell is held constant at 40.0 A? Assume the copper in the electrolytic solution is present as Cu²⁺.

Answer: The amount of time needed to plate 14.0 kg of copper onto the cathode is 295 hours

Explanation:

We are given:

Moles of electron = 1 mole

According to mole concept:

1 mole of an atom contains 6.022\times 10^{23} number of particles.

We know that:

Charge on 1 electron = 1.6\times 10^{-19}C

Charge on 1 mole of electrons = 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=96500C

Cu^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Cu

2\times 96500=193000C is passed to deposit = 1 mole of copper

63.5 g of copper is deposited by = 193000 C

14\times 1000g=14000g of copper is deposited by =\frac{193000}{63.5}\times 14000=42551181 C

To calculate the time required, we use the equation:

I=\frac{q}{t}

where,

I = current passed = 40.0 A

q = total charge = 42551181 C

t = time required = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

40.0=\frac{42551181 C}{t}\\\\t=1063779sec

Converting this into hours, we use the conversion factor:

1 hr = 3600 seconds

So, 1063779s\times \frac{1hr}{3600s}=295hr

Hence, the amount of time needed to plate 14.0 kg of copper onto the cathode is 295 hours
