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>
