Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

🧠 The "Aha!" Moment
This is a core application of Faraday's First Law of Electrolysis. 1 Faraday (F) of charge is the amount of charge carried by 1 mole of electrons. It always deposits exactly 1 "Equivalent Weight" of any substance.

🗺️ The Standard Approach
1. The Electrode Reaction: Calcium is produced from  as:
   
2. Stoichiometry: To deposit 1 mole of , we need 2 moles of electrons ().
3. Mass-Mole Conversion: 
   - 1 mole of  = .
   - We only need to deposit , which is .
4. Final Calcul
