How many minutes will it take to plate out 4.50 g of cu from a solution of cu(no3)2 (aq) onto the cathode of an electrolytic cell when 8.00 a of current are used? view available hint(s) how many minutes will it take to plate out 4.50 g of cu from a solution of cu(no3)2 (aq) onto the cathode of an electrolytic cell when 8.00 a of current are used? 14.2 min 1.82 × 103 min 28.5 min 3.06 × 10−9 min submit return to assignment

It will take 28.5 minutes

Explanation:

Step 1: 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

the awnser is group 12

one negative thing it that it can kill water animals. another negative thing is it can cause the destruction of ecosystem. one way water pollution can be reduced is to conserve energy.
