Gold is frequently purified by electroplating. Typically the gold is dissolved in a cyanide solution (which is fairly selective for gold) and then it is pulled out of solution by electroplating. If the electroplating apparatus used a current of 3.5 amperes, then how long will it take (h) to purify one ounce of gold from a gold(III) cyanide solution? ( You conduct an experiment where you use a single battery with a charge capacity of 900 mAh to precipitate an unknown metal from a salt solution that was leaking from an old battery. You use a vast excess of the salt, so the amount of metal condensed is limited by the battery. You obtain 3.368 g of the metal. You can assume that the metal was the only substance being reduced in the electrochemical cell and 100% of the listed battery charge is usable. If you were able to determine that the metal ion was a +2 ion, then which metal is it? This metal was used in batteries for a long time (even in “alkaline” batteries) due to its good…
