Suppose that gold is being plated on to another metal in an electrolytic cell. The half-cell reaction producing the Au(s) is A u C l 4 - +3e - → A u s + 4 C l - . If a 0.30 A current runs for 15.00 minute, what mass of Au(s) will be plated, assume all the electrons are used in the reduction of A u C l 4 - ? The Faraday constant is 96485 C / m o l and molar mass of Au is 197.

Options

  1. A0.184 g
  2. B0.551 g
  3. C1.84 g
  4. D0.613 g

Correct answer

A. 0.184 g

Step-by-step solution

Mass of Au deposited = Number of Faraday passed × Eq. mass = 0.30 × 15 × 60 96485 × 197 3 = 0.184 g
