A 5.77 g of zinc is deposited at the cathode when a current of 7.1 amperes passes through an electrolytic
cell for 40.0 minutes. What is the oxidation state of the zinc in the aqueous solution?
Rhodium is a bright, hard, and highly reflective metal. It is most commonly used to plate white gold as this
metal naturally has a yellow tone. If 3.57 g of rhodium is deposited at the cathode when a current of 12 A
passes through an electrolytic cell for 14 minutes, what is the oxidation state of rhodium in the aqueous
solution? (MW of rhodium=102.91 g/mol; Faraday constant = 96485 C/molle).
Do not input symbols. Only the value of the charge should be entered.
