To solve this problem, we will use Faraday's laws of electrolysis.According to Faraday's first law, the mass of a substance deposited or liberated at an electrode is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity passed through the electrolyte.The formula is given by:where: is the mass of the substance deposited (in grams), is the electrochemical equivalent of the substance, is the total charge passed through the electrolyte (in coulombs), is Faraday's constant (96487 C/mol).The electrochemical equivalent is given by:where: is the molar mass of the substance (for Cu, g/mol), is the number of electrons involved in the reduction (for Cu, Substituting the values, we get:The total charge is given by:where: is the current (9.6487 A), is the time (100 seconds).Substituting the values, we get: CNow, substitute and into the formula for Simplify the expression: gTherefore, the mass of copper deposited is approximately g.This corresponds to Option 4.
