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

What is the biological significance of the temperature at which the amylase catalyzed reaction
ipn [44]

Answer:

The biological significance is that it is the normal human body temperature and also the optimum temperature of the enzyme.

Explanation:

  • Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up the rate of chemical reactions.
  • Enzymes catalyze specific reactions by working on a specific substrate to convert it into a product.
  • The rate of enzyme activity depends on several factors which include pH, temperature, substrate concentration, and enzyme concentration among others.
  • Enzymes work best at a specific pH and temperature known as optimum pH and optimum temperature respectively.
  • In this case, enzyme amylase works best at a temperature of 37° C which is equivalent to the normal human body temperature.

How many grams of glucose are needed to prepare 400. g of a 2.00% (m/m) glucose solution g?
Dominik [7]
The grams   of glucose  are  needed  to  prepare  400g  of  a 2.00%(m/m)  glucose  solution  g  is  calculated  as  below

=% m/m =mass  of the solute/mass  of  the  solution  x100

let mass of   solute  be represented  by  y
mass  of solution = 400 g
 % (m/m) = 2% = 2/100

 grams  of  glucose  is  therefore =2/100 =  y/400
by cross  multiplication

100y = 800
divide   both side  by  100

y= 8.0 grams

Transferring or sharing electrons between atoms forms
Brums [2.3K]
Transferring or sharing electrons between atoms forms a covalent bond.<span> Covalent bonding is when atoms share electrons. It is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs. These pairs are called bonding pairs. Examples of compounds that has covalent bonds are CO2, organic compounds, lipids and proteins.</span>

a thermometer containing 8.3g of mercury has broken. if mercury ha a density of 13.6g/mL. what volume is spilled?
scoray [572]
D = m / V

13.6 = 8.3 / V

V = 8.3 / 13.6

V = 0.610 mL

hope this helps!
