Purification of chromium can be achieved by electrorefining chromium from an impure chromium anode onto a pure chromium cathode

in an electrolytic cell. How many hours will it take to plate 11.5 kg of chromium onto the cathode if the current passed through the cell is held constant at 38.0 A ? Assume the chromium in the electrolytic solution is present as Cr3+ .

Answer:

468 h

Explanation:

Let's consider the reduction of chromium (III) to chromium that occurs in the electrolytic purification.

Cr³⁺ + 3 e⁻ → Cr

We can establish the following relations.

  • 1 kg = 1,000 g
  • The molar mass of Cr is 52.00 g/mol
  • 1 mole of Cr is deposited when 3 moles of electrons circulate
  • The charge of 1 mole of electrons is 96,468 c (Faraday's constant)
  • 1 A = 1 c/s
  • 1 h = 3,600 s

The hours that will take to plate 11.5 kg of chromium onto the cathode if the current passed through the cell is held constant at 38.0 A is:

11.5kgCr \times \frac{1,000gCr}{1kgCr} \times \frac{1molCr}{52.00gCr} \times \frac{3mole^{-} }{1molCr} \times \frac{96,468c}{1mole^{-}}  \times \frac{1s}{38.0c} \times \frac{1h}{3,600s} = 468 h

In which of the following types of solution is the rate of dissociation equal to the rate of crystallization? Concentrated Super
Butoxors [25]

In a <u>Saturated </u>solution, the rate of dissociation equal to the rate of crystallization

Explanation:

A saturated solution is one than cannot dissolve any more solute because the solutes inter-molecular spaces are filled with the solute molecules at that temperature. When an attempt is made to dissolve more solute into the solution, the rate at which the solute is dissolved into the solution is equal to the rate at which excess solute is precipitated and crystallized.

What is the [OH-] if the [H3O+] is 1 x 10 -6?
Mariulka [41]

The answer is [OH⁻] = 1 x 10⁻⁸.

To find OH⁻, divide the ionic product of water by [H₃O⁺] as :

<u>OH⁻ + H₃O⁺ = H₂O</u>

<u />

  • [OH⁻] = 1 x 10⁻¹⁴ / 1 x 10⁻⁶
  • [OH⁻] = 1 x 10⁻⁸
