Purification of chromium can be achieved by electrorefining chromium from an impure chromium anode onto a pure chromium cathode

in an electrolytic cell. How many hours will it take to plate 13.5 kg of chromium onto the cathode if the current passed through the cell is held constant at 30.0 A ? Assume the chromium in the electrolytic solution is present as Cr 3 +.

Answer:

696 h

Explanation:

Let's consider the reduction of Cr³⁺.

Cr³⁺(aq) + 3e⁻ → Cr(s)

We can establish the following relations.

  • The molar mass of Cr is 52.0 g/mol.
  • 1 mol of Cr is deposited when 3 moles of e⁻ circulate.
  • 1 mole of e⁻ has a charge of 96468 c (Faraday's constant).
  • 1 A = 1 c/s
  • 1 h = 3600 s

<em>How many hours will it take to plate 13.5 kg of chromium onto the cathode if the current passed through the cell is held constant at 30.0 A?</em>

13.5 \times 10^{3} gCr.\frac{1molCr}{52.0gCr} .\frac{3mol/e^{-} }{1molCr} .\frac{96468c}{1mol/e^{-}} .\frac{1s}{30.0c} .\frac{1h}{3600s} =696 h

Why can it be difficult to demonstrate the Law of Conservation of Mass in action when a chemical reaction takes place in an open
rjkz [21]

Answer:

In simple words, in an open system, the system that has external interactions. Such interactions can take the form of information, energy, mass etc. So keeping this definition in mind, the law of conservation of mass in open system is difficult because when chemical reaction takes places things change form and some things are released as energy, That energy than escapes the system and interacts with other surrounding. This is why it is difficult to demonstrate Law of Conservation of Mass because the changes in mass due to chemical reaction cannot be accounted for properly since the lost mass (in form of energy) was lost to environment.

Whereas, in closed system, all components occur inside a closed container or something where external interactions are minimal to none so the energy lost due to chemical reaction does not escape the system thus it can be accounted for properly to demonstrate the law of conservation of Mass.

Explanation:

Too many words but should get the point across hopefully!
