Suppose the current flowing from a battery is used to electroplate an object with silver. Calculate the mass of silver that would be deposited by a battery that delivers 1.65 A·hr of charge.

m = 0.00659 kg = 6.59 g

Explanation:

From Faraday's Law of Electrolysis, we know that:

m = ZQ

where,

m = mass of silver deposited = ?

Q = charge supplied = (1.65 A-hr)(3600 s/1 hr) = 5940 C

Z = electrochemical equivalent of silver = 1.18 x 10⁻⁶ kg/C

Therefore,

m = (1.11 x 10⁻⁶ kg/C)(5940 C)

m = 0.00659 kg = 6.59 g

number of molecules / avogadro's number * molecule molecular = mass

explanation:

we define a gram-molecular weight as the mass of one mole of any element or compound. a mole contains avogadro's number of units (molecules) –  

6.022

x

10

23

. so, dividing the number of molecules by avogadro's number gives us the number of moles. multiplying that by the molecular weight gives us the mass. from the periodic table we find the gram-molecular weight of u to be238 and of f to be19. so,  

u

f

will have a gram-molecular weight of 352g.
