- An aqueous solution of an unknown salt of gold is electrolyzed by a current of 2.75 amps for 3.39 hours. The electroplating is carried out with an efficiency of 93.0%, resulting in a deposit of 21.221 g of gold. a How many faradays are required to deposit the gold? b What is the charge on the gold ions (based on your calculations)?arrow_forwardThe mass of three different metal electrodes, each from a different galvanic cell, were determined before and after the current generated by the oxidation-reduction reaction in each cell was allowed to flow for a few minutes. The first metal electrode, given the label A, was found to have increased in mass; the second metal electrode, given the label B, did not change in mass; and the third metal electrode, given the label C, was found to have lost mass. Make an educated guess as to which electrodes were active and which were inert electrodes, and which were anode(s) and which were the cathode(s).arrow_forwardConsider a galvanic cell for which the anode reaction is 3 Pb(s)Pb2+(1.0102M)+2e and the cathode reaction is VO2+(0.10M)+2H3O+(0.10M)+eV3+(1.0105M)+3H2O(l) The measured cell potential is 0.640 V. Calculate E for the VO2+V3+ half-reaction, usingE(Pb2+Pb) from Appendix E.
