`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.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these calculations: ### Step 1: Calculate the total charge (Q) passed through the solution Using the formula: \[ Q = I \times t \] Where: - \( I = 0.965 \, A \) (current) - \( t = 200 \, s \) (time) Calculating: \[ Q = 0.965 \, A \times 200 \, s = 193 \, C \] ### Step 2: Calculate the number of moles of electrons (n) Using Faraday's law: \[ Q = n \times F \] Where: - \( F = 96500 \, C/mol \) (Faraday's constant) Rearranging the formula to find \( n \): \[ n = \frac{Q}{F} = \frac{193 \, C}{96500 \, C/mol} \approx 0.002 \, mol \] ### Step 3: Determine the moles of \( Cu^{2+} \) consumed From the cathode reaction: \[ Cu^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow Cu(s) \] This indicates that 1 mole of \( Cu^{2+} \) consumes 2 moles of electrons. Therefore, the moles of \( Cu^{2+} \) consumed is: \[ \text{Moles of } Cu^{2+} = \frac{n}{2} = \frac{0.002 \, mol}{2} = 0.001 \, mol \] ### Step 4: Calculate the initial moles of \( Cu^{2+} \) The initial concentration of \( Cu^{2+} \) is given as \( 0.1 \, M \) and the volume is \( 50 \, mL \) (or \( 0.050 \, L \)): \[ \text{Initial moles of } Cu^{2+} = \text{Concentration} \times \text{Volume} = 0.1 \, mol/L \times 0.050 \, L = 0.005 \, mol \] ### Step 5: Calculate the remaining moles of \( Cu^{2+} \) \[ \text{Remaining moles of } Cu^{2+} = \text{Initial moles} - \text{Consumed moles} = 0.005 \, mol - 0.001 \, mol = 0.004 \, mol \] ### Step 6: Calculate the final concentration of \( Cu^{2+} \) Using the remaining moles and the original volume: \[ \text{Final concentration of } Cu^{2+} = \frac{\text{Remaining moles}}{\text{Volume}} = \frac{0.004 \, mol}{0.050 \, L} = 0.08 \, M \] ### Step 7: Calculate the concentration of \( H^+ \) From the anode reaction: \[ 2H_2O \rightarrow O_2 + 4H^+ + 4e^- \] This indicates that 4 moles of \( H^+ \) are produced per 4 moles of electrons. Therefore, the moles of \( H^+ \) produced is equal to the moles of electrons: \[ \text{Moles of } H^+ = n = 0.002 \, mol \] ### Step 8: Calculate the final concentration of \( H^+ \) Using the moles of \( H^+ \) produced and the volume: \[ \text{Final concentration of } H^+ = \frac{0.002 \, mol}{0.050 \, L} = 0.04 \, M \] ### Step 9: Determine the concentration of \( SO_4^{2-} \) Since there is no change in the amount of \( SO_4^{2-} \) during the electrolysis, its concentration remains the same as the initial concentration: \[ \text{Final concentration of } SO_4^{2-} = 0.1 \, M \] ### Summary of Final Concentrations: - Final concentration of \( Cu^{2+} = 0.08 \, M \) - Final concentration of \( H^+ = 0.04 \, M \) - Final concentration of \( SO_4^{2-} = 0.1 \, M \)

To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these calculations: ### Step 1: Calculate the total charge (Q) passed through the solution Using the formula: \[ Q = I \times t \] Where: - \( I = 0.965 \, A \) (current) - \( t = 200 \, s \) (time) ...
