Answer:

The electrochemical equivalent of copper, Cu, is 3.29015544 × 10⁻⁷ g/C

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The element for which the electrochemical equivalent is sought = Copper

The atomic mass of copper = 63.5

The electrochemical equivalent, 'Z', of an element or a substance is the mass, 'm', of the element or substance deposited by one coulomb of electricity, which is equivalent to a 1 ampere current flowing for a period of 1 second

Mathematically, we have;

m = Z·I·t = Z·Q

We have;

Cu²⁺ (aq) + 2·e⁻ → Cu

Therefore, one mole of Cu, is deposited by 2 moles of electrons

The charge carried one mole of electrons = 1 Faraday = 96500 C

∴ The charge carried two moles of electrons, Q = 2 × 96500 C = 193,000 C

Given that the mass of an atom of Cu = 63.5 a.m.u., the mass of one mole of Cu, m = 63.5 g

Z = \dfrac{m}{Q} = \dfrac{63.5 \ g}{193,000 \ C} = 3.29015544 \times 10^{-4} \, g \cdot C^{-1}

∴ Z = 3.29015544 × 10⁻⁴ g/C = 3.29015544 × 10⁻⁷ g/C

The electrochemical equivalent of copper, Cu, is Z = 3.29015544 × 10⁻⁷ g/C
