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

In a chemical equation, changing the subscript in a chemical formula for a substance changes what aspect?
Citrus2011 [14]
The subscript in a chemical formula is the number written next to the element at the bottom part. For example, the chemical formula of water is H₂O. The subscript of H is 2, while the subscript of O is 1. The subscript represents the number of a certain element in one particle of the compound. So, if you change the subscript, you also change the number of a certain element per compound. In other words, you change the ratio.

a. Calculate the pH of a solution that has [H3O+]= 4.3 x 10-5 M. b. Is the solution acidic or basic? How do you know?
Luda [366]

Answer:

* pH=4.37

* The solution is acidic since the pH is below 7.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we can mathematically define the pH by:

pH=-log([H_3O^+])

Thus, for the given hydronium concentration we simply compute the pH:

pH=-log(4.3x10^{-5})=4.37

Thereby, we conclude the solution is acidic due to the fact that the pH is below 7 which is the neutral point and above it the solutions are basic.

Regards.
