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 550. mA is passed through an electroplating cell with an aqueous solution of Ag, SO, in the cathode compartment for 57.0 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.

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?
A constant current of 0.800 A was used to deposit copper at the cathode and oxygen at the anode of an electrolytic cell. Calculate the mass of each product that was formed in 15.2 min, assuming that no other redox reactions occur.
