Calculation of product by electrolysis Calculate the mass of copper (in grams) formed at the cathode in an electrolytic cell if a current of 6.15A flows through it for 33.0 min. The solution used is CuSO4.

A solution of copper sulphate $\left(\mathrm{CuSO}_{4}\right)$ is electrolysed for 10 minutes with a current of $1.5$ amperes. The mass of copper deposited at the cathode (at. mass of $\mathrm{Cu}=63 \mathrm{u}$ ) is: [Main Online April 25, 2013] (a) $0.3892 \mathrm{~g}$ (b) $0.2938 \mathrm{~g}$ (c) $0.2398 \mathrm{~g}$ (d) $0.3928 \mathrm{~g}$

Topic 1 : Conductance of Electrolytic Solution and Electrolysis
A solution of copper(II) sulfate is electrolyzed by passing a current through the solution using inert electrodes. Consequently, there is a decrease in the $\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}$ concentration and an increase in the hydronium ion concentration. Also, one electrode increases in mass and a gas evolves at the other electrode. Write half-reactions that occur at the anode and at the cathode.
