Chapter 19, Problem 108AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The diagram and the time taken for silver deposition on the spoon in the electrolysis of ${\text{AgNO}}_{\text{3}}$ solution are to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The chemical deposition due to flow of current through an electrolyte is directly proportional to the amount of electricity (coulombs) passed through it.

The expression is as follows:

$t=\frac{q}{I}$

Here, $t$ is the time, $q$ is the charge, and $I$ is the current flow.
