Question: An acidified solution was electrolyzed using copper electrodes. A constant current of 1.18 A caused the anode to lose 0.584 g after 1.52 3 103

An acidified solution was electrolyzed using copper electrodes. A constant current of 1.18 A caused the anode to lose 0.584 g after 1.52 3 103 s.
(a) What is the gas produced at the cathode and what is its volume at STP?
(b) Given that the charge of an electron is 1.6022 × 10-19 C, calculate Avogadro's number. Assume that copper is oxidized to Cu2+ ions.
