    A galvanic cell is set up from a zinc bar weighing 100g and 1.0 L of 1.0 M \[CuS{{O}_{4}}\] solution. How long would the cell run if it is assumed to deliver a steady current of 1.0 amp. (Atomic mass of Zn = 65)

    A)  1.1 hr            

    B)  46 hr             

    C)  53.6 hr                       

    D)  24.00 hr

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Moles of \[Zn=\frac{100}{65}\]= 1.53 mol 1 L of 1M \[CuS{{O}_{4}}\] solution contains 1 mol of \[CuS{{O}_{4}}\]. \[\therefore \] \[Zn+CuS{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow{\,}\,ZnS{{O}_{4}}+Cu\]\[CuS{{O}_{4}}\] is the limiting reagent. \[\therefore \] To deposit completely 1 mole of Cu. Electricity required \[=2\times 96500\,C\]\[t=\frac{Q}{I}=\frac{2\times 96500}{1}s\] \[=\frac{2\times 96500}{3600}hr\]\[=53.6\,hr\]
