Detailed Solution

Amount of Cu to be deposited at the cathode is n=mM=6.35 g63.5 g mol1=0.10 mol

Since 2 electrons are required to convert Cu2+ ion into Cu, the amount of electrons required to deposit 0.10mol of Cu will be 0.20 mol. The number of electrons required will be (0.20mol) NA i.e. NA/5mol.
