    A current of 1.6 A is passed through a solution of\[CuS{{O}_{4}}.\] How many\[C{{u}^{++}}\]ions are liberated in one minute? (Electronic charge\[=1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}C\])

    A)  \[3\text{ }\times \text{ }{{10}^{20}}\]         

    B)  \[3\text{ }\times \text{ }{{10}^{10}}\]

    C)  \[6\text{ }\times \text{ }{{10}^{20}}\]         

    D)         \[6\text{ }\times \text{ }{{10}^{10}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Amount of charge flows in 1 minute \[q=I\times t=1.6\times 60=96\,C\] Charge required to liberate one copper ion = 2C Number of \[C{{u}^{+2}}\] liberated \[=\frac{96}{2\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}=3\times {{10}^{20}}\]
