Chapter 18, Problem 58E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given question stated silver can be electroplated at the cathode of an electrolysis cell by the half reaction. The mass of silver plated onto the cathode by current of $5.8\text{A}$ flows through the cell for $55\min$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:The formula to calculate number of moles is,

$\text{n}=\frac{\text{m}}{{\text{M}}_{\text{w}}}$

The amount of charge transferred during reaction is calculated by the formula,

$\text{Q}=\text{x}\times \text{F}$

To determine: The mass of silver plated onto the cathode by current of $5.8\text{A}$ flows through the cell for $55\min$ .
