96,485 coulombs will deposit 1 equivalent weight of a metal. For Cu, that is
95,485C will deposit 63.546/2= 31.77 g. The deposit was 3.10 g and that is 3.10/31.77 = 0.0976 C that flowed through the cells.
1 equivalent weight Sn = 118.71/2 = ??
1 equivalent weight Fe = 55.85/3 = 18.61
For Fe the deposit is 18.61 x 0.0976 = 1.82 g. Do the same for Sn.
Three electrolytic cells containing solutions of CuNO3, Sn(NO3)2, and Fe(NO3)3, respectively, are connected in series. A current of 2.2 A is passed through the cells until 3.10 g of copper has been deposited in the cell.
