A team of researchers investigated the electroplating of copper onto a steel cathode from a copper(II) sulfate solution. They recorded the mass of copper deposited at the cathode over time using three different electrical currents: 0.8 A0.8\text{ A}0.8 A, 1.6 A1.6\text{ A}1.6 A, and 2.4 A2.4\text{ A}2.4 A. The results were plotted on the graph below:

Determine the number of atoms of copper deposited when the solution is electroplated for 40 minutes40\text{ minutes}40 minutes at a current of 1.6 A1.6\text{ A}1.6 A.

Give your answer to 333 significant figures.

Relative atomic mass (ArA_rAr​): Cu=63.5\text{Cu} = 63.5Cu=63.5

The Avogadro constant = 6.02×10236.02 \times 10^{23}6.02×1023 per mole.
