When electricity (the flow of electrons) is passed through a solution, it causes an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction to occu

r. If the solution contains a metal cation such as Ag+, the flow of electrons will reduce the silver ion, causing solid silver to plate onto the electrode. The amount of metal plated depends on the number of electrons passed. The total charge of a mole of electrons is 96, 485 coulombs (C) and 1 ampere = 1 coulomb/second (C/s).
What mass of Cu(s) is electroplated by running 28.5 A of current through a Cu2+ (aq) solution for 4.00 h? Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
How many minutes will it take to electroplate 37.1 g of gold by running 5.00 A of current through a solution of Au+(aq)? Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer:

a. 135 g

b. 60.6 min

Step-by-step explanation:

a. What mass of Cu(s) is electroplated by running 28.5 A of current through a Cu2+ (aq) solution for 4.00 h? Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

The chemical equation for the reaction is given below

Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Cu(s)

We find the number of moles of Cu that are deposited from

nF = It where n = number of moles of electrons, F = Faraday's constant = 96485 C/mol, I = current = 28.5 A and t = time = 4.00 h = 4.00 × 60 min/h × 60 s/min = ‭14,400‬ s

So, n = It/F = 28.5 A × ‭14,400‬ s/96485 C/mol = ‭410,400‬ C/96485 C/mol = 4.254 mol

Since 2 moles of electrons deposits 1 mol of Cu, then 4.254 mol of electrons deposits 4.254 mol × 1 mol of Cu/2 mol = 2.127 mol of Cu

Now, number of moles of Cu = n' = m/M where m = mass of copper and M = molar mass of Cu = 63.546 g/mol

So, m = n'M

= 2.127 mol × 63.546 g/mol

= 135.15 g

≅ 135 g to 3 significant figures

b. How many minutes will it take to electroplate 37.1 g of gold by running 5.00 A of current through a solution of Au+(aq)?

The chemical equation for the reaction is given below

Au⁺(aq) + e⁻ → Au(s)

We need to find the number of moles of Au in 37.1 g

So, number of moles of Au = n = m/M where m = mass of gold = 37.1 g and M = molar mass of Au = 196.97 g/mol

So, n = m/M = 37.1 g/196.97 g/mol = 0.188 mol

Since 1 mol of Au is deposited  by 1 moles of electrons, then 0.188 mol of Au deposits 0.188 mol of Au × 1 mol of electrons/1 mol of Au = 0.188 mol of electrons

We find the time it takes to deposit 0.188 mol of electrons that are deposited from

nF = It where n = number of moles of electrons, F = Faraday's constant = 96485 C/mol, I = current = 5.00 A and t = time

So, t = nF/It

= 0.188 mol × 96485 C/mol ÷ 5.00 A

= ‭18173.30‬ C/5.00 A

= 3634.66 s

= 3634.66 s × 1min/60 s

= 60.58 min

≅ 60.6 min to 3 significant figures

Find the sum of the first 325325 positive even whole numbers.
iris [78.8K]
Multiply 325326×(325325/2)=52,918,503,138 How it works:
know that 325325+1 is 325326, then 325324+2 is the same number, therefore you will get this number as many times as half of biggest number since you sum every last biggest number-1 with every last smallest number+1. so just multiply and you will get

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

z(s) is in the acceptance region we accept H₀. We don´t have enough evidence to support the breeder´s claim

Step-by-step explanation:

We will test the breeder´s claim at 95% ( CI) or significance level

α = 5 %   α = 0,05    α /2 = 0,025

Sample Information:

sample size   n  = 45

sample mean   x  = 72,5 pounds

Sample standard deviation  s = 16,1

1.-Hypothesis Test:

Null Hypothesis                              H₀        x  =  70

Alternative Hypothesis                  Hₐ        x  ≠  70

Alternative hypothesis contains the information about what kind of test has  to be developed ( in this case it will be a two-tail tets)

2.-z (c) is from z-table     z(c) = 1,96

3.- z(s)  =  ( x - 70 ) / 16,1 / √45

z(s)  =  (72,5 -70 ) *√45 / 16,1

z(s)  = 2,5 * 6,71 / 16,1

z(s)  = 1,04

4.-Comparing  z(s) and z(c)

z(s)  <  z(c)

Then z(s) is in the acceptance region we accept H₀. We don´t have enough evidence to support the breeder´s claim

galben [10]

Answer:

The variance of the profile is 0.2179.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

\sigma_A = 0.5\\\sigma_B = 0.6\\\rho_{A,B} = 0.5\\w_A = 70\% = 0.7\\w_B = 30\% = 0.3

Variance of portfolio is given by:

w_A^2\sigma_A^2 +w_B^2\sigma_B^2 + 2w_Aw_BCov_{A,B}

Cov_{A,B} = \rho_{A,B} \times \sigma_A \times \sigma_B \\=0.5\times 0.5 \times 0.6\\=0.15

Putting values, we get,

w_A^2\sigma_A^2 +w_B^2\sigma_B^2 + 2w_Aw_BCov_{A,B}\\=(0.7)^2(0.5)^2 + (.3)^2(0.6)^2 + 2(0.7)(0.3)(0.15)\\=0.2179

Thus, the variance of the profile is 0.2179.
