In an electrolysis experiment, current was passed for 5h through two cells connected in series. The first cell contains a solution of gold and second contains copper sulphate solution. In the first cell, 9.85g of gold was deposited. If the oxidation number of gold is +3 , find the amount of copper deposited at the cathode of the second cell. Also calculate the magnitude of the current in ampere, ( Atomic weight of Au is 1197 and atomic weight of Cu is 63.5) .
