2. When magnesium metal is added to a beaker of HCI(aq), a gas is produced. Knowing that magnesium
is oxidized and that hydrogen is reduced, write the balanced equation for the reaction. How many
electros are transferred in the balanced equation? What quantity of useful work can be obtained when
Mg is added directly to the beaker of HCI? How can you harness this reaction to do useful work?
The gold plating of a ceramic figurine requires a total of 4.19 g of solid gold. If the current being used is 11.0 amperes, how many minutes will it take to plate the gold figurine? You may assume that there is a sufficient concentration of gold cation to complete the process.
