(20 points) Consider a Cu electrorefining system containing dilute CuSO4 at 100mM. Assuming the diffusion coefficient of Cu2+ is 2.7105cm2/s, the separation between two Cu electrodes is 8cm. a. Determine the limiting current for this 1D binary system. b. If H2SO4 is added as the supporting electrolyte to reach an H+concentration of 50mM (assuming complete dissociation), determine the limiting current in this 1D ternary system. c. What assumptions have you made for the derivation/calculation
