Answer:
9.18g
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the reduction half-reaction
Au³⁺(aq) + 3 e⁻ ⇒ Au(s)
Step 2: Calculate the mass of gold is produced when 15.0A of current are passed through a gold solution for 15.0min
We will use the following relationships:
- 1 mole of electrons has a charge of 96486 C (Faraday's constant).
- 1 mole of Au is produced when 3 moles of electrons circulate.
- The molar mass of Au is 196.97 g/mol.
The mass of gold produced is:
It helped be able to look more closely at the the cells
The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons. The mass number of the atom (M) is equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. The number of neutrons is equal to the difference between the mass number of the atom (M) and the atomic number (Z).
Protons and neutrons are in the center of the atom, making up the nucleus. Electrons surround the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge.
Each element has a specific mass number and a specific atomic number. These two numbers are fixed for an element. The mass number tells us the number (the sum of nucleons) of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. it has mass number 235 , it means that the sum of neutrons and protons in a carbon atom is 235.3
