Electroplating is a way to coat a complex metal object with a very thin (and hence inexpensive) layer of a precious metal, such

as silver or gold. In essence the metal object is made the cathode of an electrolytic cell in which the precious metal cations are dissolved in aqueous solution. Suppose a current of 0.770A is passed through an electroplating cell with an aqueous solution of AgNO3 in the cathode compartment for 19.0 seconds. Calculate the mass of pure silver deposited on a metal object made into the cathode of the cell. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol and the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

0.0164 g

Explanation:

Let's consider the reduction of silver (I) to silver that occurs in the cathode during the electroplating.

Ag⁺(aq) + 1 e⁻ → Ag(s)

We can establish the following relations.

  • 1 A = 1 C/s
  • The charge of 1 mole of electrons is 96,468 C (Faraday's constant)
  • 1 mole of Ag(s) is deposited when 1 mole of electrons circulate.
  • The molar mass of silver is 107.87 g/mol

The mass of silver deposited when a current of 0.770 A circulates during 19.0 seconds is:

19.0s \times \frac{0.770c}{s} \times \frac{1mole^{-} }{96,468C} \times \frac{1molAg}{1mole^{-}} \times \frac{107.87g}{1molAg} = 0.0164 g

Answer:

Cedar, mahogany, red wood or something else is fine, but the only downside is that it will cost you more. However, a project that is partially or fully exposed to the elements, something more than normal lumber is a must. The most cost effective method is to use pressure treated lumber.

What energy convertion happens when green plants use energy from the sun to make sugar?
mixer [17]
The energy conversion happening here is known as photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process where the leaves of a plant absorb water and carbon dioxide, then, using light energy from the sun, convert that into oxygen and sugar.

For a science experiment Marcia dissolved 1.0 kilogram of salt in 3.0 liters of water. For a different experiment, Bobby dissolv
My name is Ann [436]

Answer: Marcia made a more concentrated salt solution.

Explanation:

Marcia used 1 kg of salt, which the exercise tells us is 2.2 lb.

She dissolved it in 3L of water, so we have to find out how much that is in pints. We do that using cross multiplication.

If 1L equals 2.11 pints, then

xpints / 3L = 2.11pints / 1L, so

xpints = (3L . 2.11pints) / 1L = 6.33 pints

Now we know she dissolved 2.2lb in 6.33 pints of water. We use cross multiplication again to find out how much salt she would have in 10 pints, so we can know how concentrated it is compared to Bobby's solution, which is 10 pints.

xlb / 10pints = 2.2lb / 6.33pints

xlb = (10pints . 2.2lb) / 6.33pints = 3.47lb

So Marcia has a concentration of 3.47lb per 10 pints, whereas Bobby only has 3lb per 10 pints.
