Problem

A technician needs to plate exactly 1.00 g1.00\,\text{g} of copper metal from an aqueous Cu2+\text{Cu}^{2+} solution. If the constant current applied to the cell is doubled while all other conditions remain the same, which statement best describes how the required plating time will change? (a) The time will be reduced to one-quarter of its original value. (b) The time will double. (c) The time will be reduced to one-half of its original value. (d) The time will remain unchanged.
