Question
A total charge of 96.5 kC is passed through an electrolytic cell. What mass of silver metal will be produced from a silver nitrate solution?
Answer in units of g
Answer in units of g
Answers
a Coulomb ≈ 6.24x10^18 electrons
find the number of moles in 96.5 kC (by multiplying)
this equals the moles of Ag produced
mass = moles * molar mass
find the number of moles in 96.5 kC (by multiplying)
this equals the moles of Ag produced
mass = moles * molar mass
96,500 C will deposit 1 gram equivalent weight of any metal. For Ag that is 107.9 grams.
