part-A   Ca+2 + 2e- -------> Ca

                       Z= 2

             W   = MCt/ZF

                    = 40*6300*6*60*60/2*96500   = 28203.1g

part-B   W   = MCt/ZF

              Mg+2 + 2e- --------> Mg

                          Z = 2

                     W = 22

                     M = 24

                      F = 96500c

                      C= 3A

            W   = MCt/ZF

             t     = WZF/MC

                   = 22*2*96500/24*3   = 58972.2sec    = 58972.2/60   = 982.87min
