(Exp P) During an electrolysis experiment, the copper wire at the anode decreased in mass
from 2.145 g to 2.018 g. A current of 120.0 mA was used for 20.0 minutes and then
150.0 mA for 18.0 minutes. Using this data, what mass should be assigned for the molar
mass of copper assuming 100% efficiency.
