In an electrolysis experiment, 100 Coulombs of charge is passed through a copper sulfate solution. If the equivalent weight of copper is 31.75 g, how much copper will be deposited?
💡 Hint: Calculate using the equivalent weight and Faraday's laws.
If 50 grams of silver are deposited using a current that can deposit 25 grams of gold, calculate the equivalent weight of gold if you know silver's equivalent weight is 107.87 g.
💡 Hint: Set up the ratio based on the deposited masses.
