Current (I) = 5 A and time (t) = 965 sec

We know that equivalent weight of copper 

               =Molecular weightValency=63.52

and quantity of electricity passed in coulomb =current×time=5×965=4825 C. Since 96500 coulombs will deposit 63.52g of copper, therefore 4825 coulombs will deposit 

              =63.5×482596500×2=1.5875g
