A solution of AgNO₃(aq)is electrolyzed by passing 144 A of current for 102 min.What mass of silver plates out?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mass of silver plated can be calculated using the formula: mass = (It/nF) × M, where I is the current (144 A), t is the time in seconds (102 min × 60 s/min), n is the number of electrons transferred (1 for Ag+ to Ag), F is Faraday's constant (96485 C/mol), and M is the molar mass of silver (107.87 g/mol). Calculating gives approximately 985 g.
