Zinc is to be electroplated onto both sides of an iron sheet that is 20 cm2 as a galvanized sacrificial anode. It is desired to

electroplate the zinc to a thickness of 0.025 mm. It is found that a current of 20 A produces a zinc coating of sufficient quality for galvanized iron. Determine the time required to produce the desired coating, assuming 100 % efficiency.

Answer:

The time required for the coating is 105 s

Explanation:

Zinc undergoes reduction reaction and absorbs two (2) electron ions.

The expression for the mass change at electrode (m_{ch}) is given as :

\frac{m_{ch}}{M} ZF = It

where;

M = molar mass

Z = ions charge at electrodes

F = Faraday's constant

I = current

A = area

t = time

also; (m_{ch}) = (Ad) \rho ; replacing that into above equation; we have:

\frac{(Ad) \rho}{M} ZF = It  ---- equation (1)

where;

A = area

d = thickness

\rho = density

From the above equation (1); The time required for coating can be calculated as;

[ \frac{20 cm^2 *0.0025 cm*7.13g/cm^3}{65.38g/mol}*2 \frac{moles\ of \ electrons}{mole \ of \ Zn} * 9.65*10^4 \frac{C}{mole \ of \ electrons }  ] = (20 A) t

t = \frac{2100}{20}

= 105 s

The flame produced by the burner of a gas (propane) grill is a pale blue color when enough air mixes with the propane (C3H8) to
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

At the burner temp. and pressure, 18.85 litres of air is needed to completely combust each gram of propane

Explanation:

The combustion stoichiometry is as follows:

      C₃H₈ + 5O₂  = 4 H₂O + 3CO₂      The molecular weights (g/mol) are:

MW  44    5x32      4x18    3x44

So each gram of propane is 1/44 = 0.02272 mol propane

and will need 5 x 0.02272 = 0.1136 mol oxygen

At 0.21 mol fraction oxygen in air, 0.1136 / 0.21 = 0.54 mol air is needed to burn the propane.

At the low pressure in the burner we can use the Ideal Gas Law

PV=nRT, or V = nRT/P

P = 1.1 x 101325 Pa = 111457 Pa

T = 195°C + 273 = 468 K

R = 8.314

and we calculated n = number of moles air = 0.54 mol

So V m³ = 0.54 x 8.314 x 468 / 111457 = 0.0188 m³ = 18.85 litres air.

The container with chalk powder will contain the least amount of water, because it absorbs water, but the containers with honey and cocunut oil will conserve their amount of water, because they will prevent the water evaporation (especially cocunut oil because it will be on the top side of the container).

Which solution contains the largest number of moles of chloride ions?
elixir [45]
Molarity = number of moles of solute/liters of solution
number of moles of solute = molarity x liters of solution

Part (a): <span>30.00 ml of 0.100m Cacl2
number of moles of CaCl2 =  0.1 x 0.03 = 3x10^-3 moles
1 mole of CaCl2 contains 2 moles of chlorine, therefore 3x10^-3 moles of CaCl2 contains 6x10^-3 moles of chlorine

Part (b): </span><span>10.0 ml of 0.500m bacl2
number of moles of BaCl2 = 0.5 x 0.01 = 5x10^-3 moles
1 mole of BaCl2 contains 2 moles of chlorine, therefore 5x10^-3 moles of BaCl2 contains 10x10^-3 moles of chlorine

Part (c): </span><span>4.00 ml of 1.000m nacl
number of moles of NaCl = 1 x 0.004 = 0.004 moles
1 mole of NaCl contains 1 mole of chlorine, therefore 4x10^-3 moles of NaCl contains 4x10^-3 moles of chlorine

Part (d): </span><span>7.50 ml of 0.500m fecl3
number of moles of FeCl3 = 0.5 x 0.0075 = 3.75x10^-3 moles
1 mole of FeCl3 contains 3 moles of chlorine, therefore 3.75x10^-3 moles of FeCl3 contains 0.01125 moles of chlorine

Based on the above calculations, the correct answer is (d)</span>

The U.S. Mint produces a dollar coin called the American Silver Eagle that is made of nearly pure silver. This coin has a diamet
Rudik [331]

Answer:

The value of the silver in the coin is 35.3 $

Explanation:

First of all, let's calculate the volume of the coin.

2π . r² . thickness = volume

r = diameter/2

r = 41 mm/2 = 20.5 mm

2 . π . (20.5 mm)² .  2.5 mm = 6601 mm³

Now, this is the volume of the coin, so we must find out how many grams are on it.

6601 mm³ / 1000 = 6.60 cm³

Let's apply density.

D = Mass / volume

10.5 g/cm³ = mass /6.60 cm³

10.5 g/cm³ . 6.60 cm³ = mass

69.3 g = mass

Each gram has a cost of 0.51$

69.3 g . 0.51$ = 35.3 $
