    The amount of electricity required to produce one mole of copper from copper sulphate solution will be

    A)  1 F            

    B)  2.33 F

    C)  2 F             

    D)  1.33 F

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     \[CuS{{O}_{4}}\rightleftharpoons C{{u}^{2+}}+SO_{4}^{2-}\] At cathode: \[C{{u}^{2+}}(aq)+2{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}Cu(s)\] At anode \[2{{H}_{2}}O(l)\xrightarrow{{}}{{O}_{2}}(g)+4{{H}^{+}}(aq)+4{{e}^{-}}\] Thus, for the production of one mole of copper from copper sulphate 2F of electricity is required (because involve 2 electrons).
