    Mass of Al, m = ?

    Molar mass of copper Al, M = 27.0 g/mol

    time, t = 45 s

    current, c = 0.15 A

    valency of Al in Al (NO₃) ₃, z = + 3

    From Faraday's 1st law,

    m = Mct/zF

    where F = Faraday constant = 96500 C/mol

    Substitute all the values,

    m = [ (27.0 g/mol) (0.15 A) (45 s) ] / [3] [96500 C/mol]

    = 6.3 x 10⁻⁴ g

    Mass of aluminium = 6.3 x 10⁻⁴ g

    Therefore, mass of aluminium plated on electrode = 6.3 x 10⁻⁴ g
