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

    B) \[3\times {{10}^{19}}\]

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

    D)        \[6\times {{10}^{19}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[i=1.6\,\,A,\,\,t=1\]minute\[=60\,\,s\] Charge on one\[C{{u}^{++}}=2e\] Let\[n\,\,C{{u}^{++}}\]are liberated from                 \[Q=ne\]                 \[it=n(2e)\]                 \[1.6\times 60=n(2\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}})\]                 \[n=3\times {{10}^{20}}\,\,ions\]
