QUESTION:
Silver is electroplated at the cathode of an electrolysis cell by this half-reaction.
\(\mathrm{Ag}^{+}(a q)+\mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Ag}(s)\)
How many moles of electrons are required to electroplate 5.8 g of Ag?
ANSWER:Solution 103 P:
Here, we are going to calculate the moles of electrons are required to electroplate of 5.8 g of Ag.
Step 1:
Molar mass of Ag =107.868 g/mol
Amount of Ag required to electroplate 5.8 g of Ag = 5.8 g Ag x
= 0.0537 mol
