A current of 5A is applied to an electrolytic cell for 10 minutes. Calculate the mass of copper deposited at the cathode if the equivalent mass of copper is 31.8 g/equiv.
💡 Hint: Remember the relationships given by Faraday's laws.
Assuming you have a mixture of electrolytes containing copper (Cu) and silver (Ag) ions, how would you predict which metal would deposit first when the current is passed through?
💡 Hint: Consider the sequence of ion deposition based on equivalent mass.
