Zinc is to be electroplated onto both sides of an iron sheet that is 20 cm2 as a galvanized sacrificial anode. It is desired to

electroplate the zinc to a thickness of 0.025 mm. It is found that a current of 20 A produces a zinc coating of sufficient quality for galvanized iron. Determine the time required to produce the desired coating, assuming 100 % efficiency.

Answer:

The time required for the coating is 105 s

Explanation:

Zinc undergoes reduction reaction and absorbs two (2) electron ions.

The expression for the mass change at electrode (m_{ch}) is given as :

\frac{m_{ch}}{M} ZF = It

where;

M = molar mass

Z = ions charge at electrodes

F = Faraday's constant

I = current

A = area

t = time

also; (m_{ch}) = (Ad) \rho ; replacing that into above equation; we have:

\frac{(Ad) \rho}{M} ZF = It  ---- equation (1)

where;

A = area

d = thickness

\rho = density

From the above equation (1); The time required for coating can be calculated as;

[ \frac{20 cm^2 *0.0025 cm*7.13g/cm^3}{65.38g/mol}*2 \frac{moles\ of \ electrons}{mole \ of \ Zn} * 9.65*10^4 \frac{C}{mole \ of \ electrons }  ] = (20 A) t

t = \frac{2100}{20}

= 105 s

Masja [62]

Answer:

The atomic mass of the boron atom would be <em>10.135</em>

Explanation:

This is generally known as relative atomic mass.

Relative atomic mass or atomic weight is a physical quantity defined as the ratio of the average mass of atoms of a chemical element in a given sample to the atomic mass of 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom. Since both quantities in the ratio are masses, the resulting value is dimensionless; hence the value is said to be relative and does not have a unit.

<em>Note that the relative atomic mass of atoms is not always a whole number because of it being isotopic in nature.</em>

  • <em>Divide each abundance by 100 then multiply by atomic mass</em>
  • <em>Do that for each isotope, then add the two result. Thus</em>

Relative atomic mass of Boron = (18.5/100 x 11) + (81/100 x 10)

                                                 = 2.035 + 8.1

                                                 = 10.135

Ber [7]

Answer:

Alchemy is a practice of making gold from other metals.

Explanation:

Alchemy is a method which is practiced by the ancient scientists of Europe, Africa and Asia trying to produced gold from other metals. This method was failed to produced gold from metals and all scientist suggested that metals can not be converted into gold. Greeks were the people who presented the theory of alchemy in the first few centuries of CE.
