Problem

A constant 1.50 A current flows through a Cu²⁺(aq) electrolytic cell for 10.0 min. At that moment, a second cell containing Pb²⁺(aq) is inserted in series with the first, and the same 1.50 A current continues for an additional 15.0 min. Calculate the total mass of copper and the mass of lead deposited. (Molar masses: Cu = 63.55 g mol⁻¹, Pb = 207.2 g mol⁻¹)
