Given:

i = 1.5 A

Z=1.12 * 10^{-6} kg/C

t = 15 minutes = 15 * 60 sec = 900 sec

Using the equation

        mass = ZIt

                       = 1.12 * 10^{-6} \frac{kg}{C}* 1.5 \frac{C}{s}* 900 s

                        = 3.024 * 10^{-4} kg

                        = 3.024 * 10^{-4} * 10^3 g

                        = 0.3024 g = 0.30 g
