An electrolytic cell can be used to plate gold onto other metal surfaces. The plating reaction is: Au (aq) e- --> Au(s) Notic

e from the reaction that 1 mol e- plates out 1 mol Au(s). Use this stoichiometric relationship to determine how much time is required with an electrical current of 0.200 amp to plate out 0.400 g Au. The amp is a unit of electrical current equivalent to 1 C / s. (Hint: Recall that the charge of an electron is 1.60 x 10-19 C.)

Answer:

Explanation:

Faraday’s constant can be used to convert the charge (Q) into moles of electrons (n). The charge is the current (I) multiplied by the time

Q = I × t = n × F

Where

Q is charge

I is current = 0.2A

t is time = ?

n is number of mole

F is Faraday constant = 96500C/s

Mass of Au = 0.4 g = 0.0004kg

Molar mass of Au = 197 g/mol

Malar mass = mass / mole

n = 0.4 / 197

n = 2.03× 10^-3 mol

n = 0.00203 mol

t = n × F / I

t = 0.00203 × 96500 / 0.2

t = 979.7 seconds

t = 16.32 minutes.

A cord is used to vertically lower an initially stationary block of mass M = 3.6 kg at a constant downward acceleration of g/7.

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

(a) $W_c=127.008 J$

(b) $W_g=148.176 J$

(c) K.E. = 21.168 J

(d) $v=3.4293m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of a block, M = 3.6 kg

initial velocity of the block, $u=0 m.s^{-1}$

constant downward acceleration, $a_d= \frac{g}{7}$

$\Rightarrow$ That a constant upward acceleration of $\frac{6g}{7}$ is applied in the presence of gravity.

∴ $a=- \frac{6g}{7}$

height through which the block falls, d = 4.2 m

(a)

Force by the cord on the block,

$F_c= M\times a$

$F_c=3.6\times (-6)\times\frac{9.8}{7}$

$F_c=-30.24 N$

∴Work by the cord on the block,

$W_c= F_c\times d$

$W_c= -30.24\times 4.2$

We take -ve sign because the direction of force and the displacement are opposite to each other.

$W_c=-127.008 J$

(b)

Force on the block due to gravity:

$F_g= M.g$

∵the gravity is naturally a constant and we cannot change it

$F_g=3.6\times 9.8$

$F_g=35.28 N$

∴Work by the gravity on the block,

$W_g=F_g\times d$

$W_g=35.28\times 4.2$

$W_g=148.176 J$

(c)

Kinetic energy of the block will be equal to the net work done i.e. sum of the two works.

mathematically:

$K.E.= W_g+W_c$

$K.E.=148.176-127.008$

K.E. = 21.168 J

(d)

From the equation of motion:

$v^2=u^2+2a_d\times d$

putting the respective values:

$v=\sqrt{0^2+2\times \frac{9.8}{7}\times 4.2 }$

$v=3.4293m.s^{-1}$ is the speed when the block has fallen 4.2 meters.

A basketball player jumped straight up to grab a rebound. If she was in the air for 0.80 second, how high did she jump?

Kazeer [188]

-- She went up for 0.4 sec and down for 0.4 sec.

-- The vertical distance traveled in gravity during ' t ' seconds is

   D = (1/2) x (g) x (t)²

   = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (0.4 sec)²

   = (4.9 m/s²) x (0.16 s²)

   = 0.784 meter ( B )

26. An ice-skater who weighs 200 N is gliding across the ice. If the force of friction is 4 N. what is the

Scrat [10]

Answer:

0.02

Explanation:

coefficient of kinetic friction = μ

force of friction = Ff

Normal Force = FN, but

FN = -W

Ff = -μFN

so μ = Ff/FN

= 4N/200N

= 0.02.
