47542 amperes of electricity are needed to electrolyze Cu² to cu.

Using the formula w= zit

where w,

The quantity of power transported through the electrolyte directly correlates to the amount of material created at an electrode during electrolysis. W is the mass of substance produced at an electrode, and It. or W = ZIt.

W = Zit ( Q= I*t ) Where, Z = Electrochemical Equivalent. Z = atomic weight/nF (n = no. of electron, F = 96500 )

z= atomic weight/ nF

z= 63.5/ 2 * 96500

z= 0.00032

∴w = 0.00032 *i * 4.8

w= number of moles* molecular weight

w= 1.15 * 63.5

w= 73.025

73.025= 0.00032 * i * 4.8

i= 73.025/ 0.00032 * 4.8

i= 47542 ampere

Therefore 47542 amperes of electricity are needed to electrolyze Cu² to cu.
