How do i find the time required to deposit 11.2 g of cadmium metal?

The time required to deposit 11.2 g of cadmium metal, Cd from a solution of CdSO4 using a current of 5.0 A ??|||Cd ^ 2+ + 2e ^- -----------%26gt;Cd .The atomic weight of cadmium is 112 grams ...Hence to deposit 112 grams of cadmium 2 x 96500 coulombs of current is required. To deposit 11.2 grams of cadmium 2 x 9650 coulombs of current is required. Since Q = i x t in which i is amperes and time in seconds. 2 x 9650 = 5 x t This gives 3860 seconds.
