To solve this problem, we need to use the formula for electroplating:

Mass = (Current x Time x Atomic Mass) / (Charge x Faraday's Constant)

First, we need to find the charge using the formula:

Charge = Current x Time

Charge = 740 A x 30 min x 60 s/min = 1,332,000 C

Next, we need to find the atomic mass of aluminum, which is 26.9815 g/mol.

Faraday's constant is 96,485 C/mol.

Now we can plug in the values into our original formula:

Mass = (Current x Time x Atomic Mass) / (Charge x Faraday's Constant)

Mass = (740 A x 30 min x 60 s/min x 26.9815 g/mol) / (1,332,000 C x 96,485 C/mol)

Mass = 1,270.87 g

Therefore, 1,270.87 grams of aluminum is deposited electronically in 30 minutes by a current of 740A.
