Calculate the quantity of electricity in coulombs required to liberate 10g of copper from a copper compound [Cu=64, F=96500Cmol^-1]

Calculate the quantity of electricity in coulombs required to liberate 10g of copper from a copper compound [Cu=64, F=96500Cmol^-1]

A. 32395.5

B. 30156.3

C. 60784.5

D. 15196.5

For copper deposited from solution:

Cu^{2+} + 2e^- 一> Cu

So, 2 Faradays are required to liberate 1 mole of Cu.

Step 1: Calculate moles of copper
Moles of Cu} = 10/64 = 0.15625  mol

Step 2: Calculate quantity of electricity
Q = moles * 2F
Q = 0.15625 * 2 * 96500
Q = 30156.25  C

≈ 30156.3 C

✅ Correct answer: B. 30156.3
