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 0.280 A is passed through an electroplating cell with an aqueous solution of AgNO3 in the cathode compartment for 84.0 seconds. Calculate the mass of pure silver deposited on a metal object made into the cathode of the cell. Round your answer to 3 significant digits. Also, be sure your answer contains a unit symbol. 0 x10 ロ・ロ X н ■ 4

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.

Thomas Edison invented an electric meter that was nothing more than a simple coulometer, a device to measure the amount of electricity passing through a circuit. In this meter, a small, fixed fraction of the total current supplied to a household was passed through an electrolytic cell, plating out zinc at the cathode. Each month the cathode could then be removed and weighed to determine the amount of electricity used. If 0.25% of a household’s electricity passed through such a coulometer and the cathodeincreased in mass by 1.83 g in a month, how many coulombs of electricity were used during that month?

red A certain half-reaction has a standard reduction potential E = +0.16 V. An engineer proposes using this half-reaction at the cathode of a galvanic cell that must provide at least 1.30 V of electrical power. The cell will operate under standard conditions. Note for advanced students: assume the engineer requires this half-reaction to happen at the cathode of the cell. Is there a minimum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the anode of this cell can have? If so, check the "yes" box and calculate the minimum. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. If there is no lower limit, check the "no" box. Is there a maximum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the anode of this cell can have? If so, check the "yes" box and calculate the maximum. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. If there is no upper limit, check the "no" box.
