`50mL` of `0.1M CuSO_(4)` solution is electrolysed with a current of `0.965A` for a period of 200sec. The reactions at electrodes are:
Cathode: `Cu^(2+) +2e^(-) rarr Cu(s)`
Anode: `2H_(2)O rarr O_(2) +4H^(+) +4e`.
Assuming no change in volume during electrolysis, calculate the molar concentration of `Cu^(2+),H^(+)` and `SO_(4)^(2-)` at the end of electrolysis.
