Chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical breakdown into two or more separate chemicals occurs when one component interacts with another to generate new material. These processes are known as chemical reactions, and they are generally irreversible until followed by other chemical reactions.

$$\begin{gathered} \text{Charge =}\frac{\text{0.17 C}}{\text{s}}\text{×48 hr×}\frac{\text{60 min}}{\text{1 hr}}\text{×}\frac{\text{60 sec}}{\text{1 min}} \\ \text{= 29,376 C} \end{gathered}$$

Divide the charge by Faraday's constant to get the moles of electrons reacting. Convert the electron moles to Cu reactive moles. In the reduction of${\text{Cu}}^{\text{2 +}}$, two electrons are involved.

$\text{29,376 C×}\frac{{\text{1 mole}}^{\text{-}}}{\text{96,500 C}}\text{×}\frac{\text{1 mol Cu}}{{\text{2 mole}}^{\text{-}}}\text{= 0.152 mol Cu}$

Multiply the moles of Cu by their molar mass to get mass.

$\text{0.152 mol Cu×}\frac{\text{63.55 g}}{\text{1 mol Cu}}\text{= 9.67 g Cu}$

Therefore, the value is: $\text{9.67 g Cu}$

The moles of copper ion in the solution are:

$\text{0.345 L×}\frac{\text{1 mol}}{\text{1 L}}{\text{= 0.345 molCu}}^{\text{2 +}}$

Now, subtracting the moles of copper being deposited is:

${\text{0.345 mol Cu}}^{\text{2 +}}{\text{- 0.152 mol Cu}}^{\text{2 +}}{\text{= 0.193 mol Cu}}^{\text{2 +}}$

Then, evaluating the new molarity of the solution as:

$$\begin{gathered} \text{M =}\frac{{\text{0.193 mol Cu}}^{\text{2 +}}}{\text{0.375 L}} \\ \text{= 0.51 M} \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, the value is: ${\text{[Cu}}^{\text{2 +}}\text{]=0.51 M}$
