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
