Detailed Solution

Attackable electrode is used.

At cathode ECu+2/Cuo>EH+/12H2,Pto

                  Cu+2+2eCu

At anode ECu/Cu+2o>EH2O/O2o

              CuCu+2+2e

Thus 2 F can deposit or decompose 2 gram equivalents (1 mole) of copper.

0.1 F can deposit 0.1 gram equivalents (0.05 moles) of copper at cathode.

0.1 F can decompose 0.1 gram equivalents (0.05 moles) of copper at anode
