1. Fischl, a scientist from Mondstadt specializing in electrochemistry, performed an electrolytic cell experiment on an unknown metal solution. She was able to deposit 9.701 g of the metal as solid on the cathode after applying a 1.500 A current for 10.00 hours. Her assistant, Oz, had previously noted that 3 electrons are involved per mole of the metal deposited. a. Determine the molar mass of the unknown metal in g/mol. b. What is the identity of the unknown metal (Cr, Cd, Sr, Mn)?
