Assume it is a copper 2 salt and no side reactions it would require 96485 x 2 coulombs of charge per mole of copper or per 63.5 g of copper.
1 coulomb is 1 amp.second
so 7.5 x 600 x 3600 x 63.5 / (96485 x 2) g = 5331 g Cu

An electrode at which aluminium is deposited during electrolysis of alumina?
Cathode
Why does the blue colour remains blue during electrolysis of copper sulphate solution using copper electrodes?
During the electrolysis of Copper sulphate ,at the cathode ,copper and hydrogen both being positively charged migrate towards the cathode.While at the anode
Why does the color of copper sulfate solution changes during electrolysis?
The color fades as there is a discharge of copper two ions to form copper atoms
During water electrolysis does the water have to be warm?
No
What is the gas evolved at anode during electrolysis of aqueous NaCl?
Chlorine Gas is evolved at the anode.

Cathode
Why does the cathode gain in mass during the purification of copper by electrolysis?
Because the cathode is where reduction takes place, meaning the it gains electrons. When it gains electrons, it attracts the copper cation (Cu^2+) and as the copper cation reaches the cathode, it picks up the electrons from the cathode, and is deposited as solid copper (Cu). This results in the cathode gaining mass over time.

What are the metal strips called that are placed in the copper compound solution during electrolysis?
electrode
Where does copper collect during electrolysis?
The cathode, where the +ions in solution accept electrons and become neutral metal atoms.
Why does a potato acquire a greenish deposit at the anode during electrolysis of potato?
You do not mention what you are using as the anode and cathode, but i would assume that given the green colour you are using copper or brass perhaps as the anode, and it is breaking down into a copper carbonate(which is green). By applying electrical current to the circuit you are speeding up the conversion of copper to copper carbonate(or similar).
What happens when electric current is passed through fused sodium chloride?
During this electrolysis are obtained chlorine and sodium.
What would happen if you used an alternating current during electrolysis?
the cathode and anode keeps interchanging between each other
What happens during an electric current?
conclusion of electric current
How can copper be separated from solution of copper compounds?
Usually in a school experiment, you put copper solution into glass. Then you add Positively and negatively charged sticks which are connected with each other and plugged into electricity, which makes pure copper form on the negatively charged stick.
