Question

An electroplating solution is made up of nickel(II) sulfate. How much time would it take to deposit 0.500 g of metallic nickel on a custom car part using a current of 3.00 A

Answer 1

Answer:

1.52 hour

Explanation:

M = 0.5 g, I = 3 A

Electrochemical equivalent of nickel

Z = 3.04 × 10^(-4) g/C

By use of Faraday's laws of electrolysis

M = Z I t

t = M / Z I

t = 0.5 / (3.04 × 10^-4 × 3)

t = 5482.45 second = 1.52 hour
