Electroplating is a way to coat a complex metal object with a very thin (and hence inexpensive) layer of a precious metal, such

as silver or gold. In essence the metal object is made the cathode of an electrolytic cell in which the precious metal cations are dissolved in aqueous solution. Suppose a current of 0.770A is passed through an electroplating cell with an aqueous solution of AgNO3 in the cathode compartment for 19.0 seconds. Calculate the mass of pure silver deposited on a metal object made into the cathode of the cell. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol and the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

0.0164 g

Explanation:

Let's consider the reduction of silver (I) to silver that occurs in the cathode during the electroplating.

Ag⁺(aq) + 1 e⁻ → Ag(s)

We can establish the following relations.

  • 1 A = 1 C/s
  • The charge of 1 mole of electrons is 96,468 C (Faraday's constant)
  • 1 mole of Ag(s) is deposited when 1 mole of electrons circulate.
  • The molar mass of silver is 107.87 g/mol

The mass of silver deposited when a current of 0.770 A circulates during 19.0 seconds is:

19.0s \times \frac{0.770c}{s} \times \frac{1mole^{-} }{96,468C} \times \frac{1molAg}{1mole^{-}} \times \frac{107.87g}{1molAg} = 0.0164 g

A solution is made by dissolving 9.74 g of sodium sulfate in water to a final volume of 165 mL of solution. What is the weight/w
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: The weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute is 5.41 %.

Explanation:

Mass of the sodium sulfate,w = 9.74 g

Volume of the water = 165 mL

Density of the water = 1 g/mL

Density=1 g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{\text{Volume of water}}

Mass of the water =1 g/mL\times 165 mL=165 g

Mass of the solution, W:

Mass of solute + Mass of solvent =9.47 g + 165 g=174.47 g

w/w\%=\frac{w\times 100}{W}=\frac{9.45 g\times 100}{174.47 g}=5.41 \%

The weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute is 5.41 %.

Consider the balanced equation below. 4NH3 + 3O2 --> 2N2 + 6H2O What is the mole ratio of NH3 to N2?
AURORKA [14]
The balanced equation given is:
4NH3 + 3O2 .....> 2N2 + 6H2O

From this equation, we can note that 4 moles of NH3 are required to produce 2 moles of N2.

Therefore, the mole ratio of NH3 to N2 is 4:2 which can be simplified into 2:1

Wet steam at 1100 kPa expands at constant enthalpy (as in a throttling process) to 101.33 kPa, where its temperature is 105°C. W
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

There are 3 steps of this problem.

Explanation:

Step 1.

Wet steam at 1100 kPa expands at constant enthalpy to 101.33 kPa, where its temperature is 105°C.

Step 2.

Enthalpy of saturated liquid Haq = 781.124 J/g

Enthalpy of saturated vapour Hvap = 2779.7 J/g

Enthalpy of steam at 101.33 kPa and 105°C is H2= 2686.1 J/g

Step 3.

In constant enthalpy process, H1=H2 which means inlet enthalpy is equal to outlet enthalpy

So, H1=H2

     H2= (1-x)Haq+XHvap.........1

    Putting the values in 1

    2686.1(J/g) = {(1-x)x 781.124(J/g)} + {X x 2779.7 (J/g)}

                        = 781.124 (J/g) - x781.124 (J/g) = x2779.7 (J/g)

1904.976 (J/g) = x1998.576 (J/g)

                     x = 1904.976 (J/g)/1998.576 (J/g)

                     x = 0.953

So, the quality of the wet steam is 0.953

How many milligrams of MgI2 must be added to 257.7 mL of 0.087 M KI to produce a solution with [I−] = 0.1000 M?
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The answer is 465.6 mg of MgI₂ to be added.

Explanation:

We find the mole of ion I⁻ in the final solution

C = n/V -> n = C x V = 0.2577 (L) x 0.1 (mol/L) = 0.02577 mol

But in the initial solution, there was 0.087 M KI, which can be converted into mole same as above calculation, equal to 0.02242 mol.

So we need to add an addition amount of 0.02577 - 0.02242 = 0.00335 mol of I⁻. But each molecule of MgI₂ yields two ions of I⁻, so we need to divide 0.00335 by 2 to find the mole of MgI₂, which then is 0.001675 mol.

Hence, the weight of MgI₂ must be added is

Weight of MgI₂ = 0.001675 mol x 278 g/mol = 0.4656 g = 465.6 mg

Arsenic produces a blue flame when heated. Calcium produces an orange-red flame. Which of these best explains why this differenc
MrMuchimi

Flame colors are produced from the movement of the electrons in the metal ions present in the compounds. When you heat it, the electrons gain energy and can jump into any of the empty orbitals at higher levels Each of these jumps involves a specific amount of energy being released as light energy, and each corresponds to a particular color. As a result of all these jumps, a spectrum of colored lines will be produced. The color you see will be a combination of all these individual colors.
