During the electrolysis of copper (II) tetraoxosulphate (VI) solution, an ammeter shows a steady reading of 1A for 30minutes while 6.6 x \(10^{-4}\)kg of copper is liberated. Calculate the error in the ammeter The electrochemical equivalent of copper is 3.30 x \(10^{-7}kgC{-1}\)
A
0.001A
B
0.011A
C
0.111A
D
1A
E
1.1A
Verified Correct Answer: C.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
m=zIt, \(I=\frac{m}{zt}= \frac{6.6\times10^{-4}}{3.3 \times10^{-7}\times 1800}=1.1111\\ \)error=1.1111-1.0=0.111A.
