Detailed Solution

If same quantity of electricity is passed through CuCl and CuSO4, the ratio of the weights of Cu deposited from CuSO₄ and CuCl is 1:2.
2 moles of electrons will deposit 1 mole of Cu from CuSO₄ whereas 2 moles of electrons will deposit 2 moles of Cu from CuCl. This is because the valence of Cu in CuSO₄ and CuCl is 2 and 1 respectively.

Equivalent weight of copper is more in Cu₂Cl₂ than in CuSO₄
