A teapot with a surface area of 790 cm2 is to be plated with silver. It is attached to the negative electrode of an electrolytic cell containing silver nitrate (Ag+ NO3−). The cell is powered by a 12.0-V battery and has a resistance of 1.90 Ω. If the density of silver is 1.05 104 kg/m3, over what time interval does a 0.133-mm layer of silver build up on the teapot?

A teapot with a surface area of 790 cm2 is to be plated with silver. It is attached to the negative electrode of an electrolytic cell containing silver nitrate (AgNO3). The cell is powered by a 12.0-V battery and has a resistance of 1.90 Ω. If the density of silver is 1.05  104 kg/m3, over what time interval does a 0.133-mm layer of silver build up on the teapot?

 

A teapot with a surface area of 790 cm? is to be plated with silver. It is attached to the negative electrode of an electrolytic cell containing silver nitrate (Ag* NO,). The cell is
powered by a 12.0-V battery and has a resistance of 1.90 N. If the density of silver is 1.05 x 104 kg/m3, over what time interval does a 0.133-mm layer of silver build up on the
teapot?
