Copper sulphate solution (250mL) was electrolysed using a platinum anode and a copper cathode. A constant current of 2mA was passed for 16min . It was found that after electrolysis the absorbance of the solution was reduced to 50% of its original value. Concentration of copper sulphate in the solution to begin with isx×10-5. Find the valu ofx

Answer:
8.00
Solution:

The number of faraday's passed = 2 × 1 0 - 3 × 1 6 × 6 0 9 6 5 0 0

= 1.99 × 1 0 - 5

number of gram equivalent of Cu 2 + deposited as Cu(s)

= 1.99 × 1 0 - 5

number of moles of Cu 2 + deposited

= 1.99 2 × 10 - 5 10 - 5

Absorbance is directly proportional to Cu 2 + .

No. of moles of Cu2+initially present = 2 x 10-5moles

Cu 2 + Initial = 2 × 1 0 - 5 × 1 0 0 0 2 5 0

= 8 x10-5M
