Chapter 17, Problem 70QRT

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The time required to carry out an electrolysis in which $\text{0}\text{.125 L}$ of $\text{0}{\text{.0150-M V}}^{3+}\left(\text{aq}\right)$ is converted into ${\text{V}}^{\text{2+}}\left(\text{aq}\right)$ has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

During a redox reaction, the amount of electrons transferred is determined by measuring the current flowing in an external electric circuit for a particular period of time.  The electric charge flowing through an electric circuit is calculated by multiplying the current and the time interval.
