Tin-plated steel is used for "tin" cans. Suppose that in the production of sheets of tin-plated steel, a line at a factory operates at a current of 100.0 A for exactly 8 hours on a continuously fed sheet of unplated steel. If the electrolyte contains tin(II) ions, what is the total mass of tin that has plated out in this operation?
