Zinc is electroplated from a ZnSO4 solution. How many grams of zinc will be deposited if a 1.6A current runs for 25 minutes?

0.817g

Explanation:

Zn2+ + 2e > An

Amount of electricity used

Q = It

= 1.6A x 25 x 60 seconds

= 2400 coulomb's

Number of moles of electrons = Q/f

F = 96500 coulomb's

= 2400/96500

= 0.025mol

From the equation above,

We see that the number of Zn moles firmed is equal to half the number of electrons used.

Molecular weight of Zn = 65.38

0.025x65.38/2

= 0.817 grams of zinc

Thank you!

dang that balls went far

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
