Question

An electrolytic cell is set up to plate Zr(s) from a solution containing Zr4 (aq). A current of 7.92 amps is run through this solution for 6.16 hours. The mass of Zr(s) plated out during this process is

Answer 1

The mass of Zr deposited in the process is 41.4 g.

What is electrolytic cell?

An electrolytic cell is a chemical cell which produces electrical energy by non-spontaneous chemical processes.

From the question;

Zr^4+(aq) + 4e ------> Zr(s)

We know that;

91 g of Zr is deposited by 4(96500) C

xg of Zr is deposited by (7.92 × 6.16 × 60 × 60) C

xg = 91 g ×  (7.92 × 6.16 × 60 × 60) C/4(96500) C

x g = 41.4 g
