Answer:

The Nazca plate forms the southeastern part of the Pacific plate. The Nazca and the Pacific plate share both divergent and transform type of plate boundary. The Pacific and the Nazca plate are separating at an increasing rate of about 122-142mm/year. These are the regions where the rate of tectonic activity is very high.

The Nazca Plate and the South American Plate are also converging at a rate of about 62mm/year, being the fastest subduction rate on earth.

How many seconds would it take to deposit 17.3 g of ag (atomic mass = 107.87) from a solution of agno3 using a current of 10.00
Brums [2.3K]
Data Given:

Time = t = ?

Current = I = 10 A

Faradays Constant = F = 96500

Chemical equivalent = e = 107.86/1 = 107.86 g

Amount Deposited = W = 17.3 g

Solution:
             According to Faraday's Law,

                                          W  =  I t e / F

Solving for t,

                                          t  =  W F / I e
Putting values,
                                          t  =  (17.3 g × 96500) ÷ (10 A × 107.86 g)

                                          t  =  1547.79 s

                                          t  = 1.54 × 10³ s
