How long does it take to electroplate 0.5 mm of gold on an object with a surface area of 31 cm^^ from an Au3+(aq) solution with

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

It will take 5492 seconds to electroplate 0.5 mm of gold on an object .

Explanation:

Mass of gold = m

Volume of gold = v

Surface area on which gold is plated = $a=31 cm^2$

Thickness of the gold plating = h = 0.5 mm = 0.05 cm

1 mm = 0.1 cm

$V=a\times h=31 cm^2\times 0.05 cm=1.55 cm^3$

Density of the gold = $d=19.3 g/cm^3$

$m=d\times v=19.3 g/cm^3\times 1.55 cm^3=29.915g$

Moles of gold = $\frac{29.915 g}{197 g/mol}=0.152 mol$

$Au^{3+}+3e^-\rightarrow Au$

According to reaction, 1 mole of gold required 3 moles of electrons,then 0.152 moles of gold will require :

$\frac{3}{1}\times 0.152 mol=0.456 mol$ of electrons

Number of electrons = N = $0.456\times \times 6.022\times 10^{23}$

Charge on single electron = $q=1.6\times 10^{-19} C$

Total charge required = Q

$Q=N\times q$

Amount of current passes = I = 8 Ampere

Duration of time = T

$I=\frac{Q}{T}$

$T=\frac{N\times q}{I}$

$=\frac{0.456\times \times 6.022\times 10^{23}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19} C}{8 A}=5492 s$

It will take 5492 seconds to electroplate 0.5 mm of gold on an object .

How did the surface area of the metal strip expose to the solution affect the

frez [133]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

In an electrochemical cell, electricity is obtained by the gradual deterioration of the anode.

Hence, surface area of the metal will affect the length of time within which the electrochemical cell works.

The greater the surface area of the metal, the longer the electrochemical cell can function and the greater the quantity of electricity produced, hence the answer above.

A saline solution with a mass of 400 g has 30 g of NaCl dissolved in it. What is the mass/mass percent concentration of the solu

maria [59]

(g solute/g solution)*100 = % mass/mass

30 g / 400 * 100

0,075 * 100

= 7,5% w/w

hope this helps!
