If 3.00 ✕ 10−3 kg of gold is deposited on the negative electrode of an electrolytic cell in a period of 2.59 h, what is the current in the cell during that period? Assume the gold ions carry one elementary unit of positive charge.

0.158 A.

Explanation:

Mass of gold deposited = 3 x 10^-3 kg

= 3 g

Molar mass = 196 g/mol

Number of moles = 3/196

= 0.0153 mol.

Faraday's constant,

1 coloumb = 96500 C/mol

Quantity of charge, Q = 96500 * 0.0153

= 1477.04 C.

Remember,

Q = I * t

t = 2.59 hr

= 2.59 * 3600 s

= 9324 s

Current, I = 1477.04/9324

= 0.158 A.

explanation:

physics means: "the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. the subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms."

speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s

speed of light in other mediums is given by the expression v = c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of medium.

for the first medium v = 200,000 km/s

  so, refractive index of medium = 300000/200000 = 1.5

    1.5 refractive index is usually for glass. so first medium is glass.

for the second medium v = 250,00 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/250000 = 1.2

    1.2 refractive index is usually for water. so second medium is water.

for the third medium v = 0 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/0 = ∞

    ∞ refractive index is usually for opaque mediums. so third medium is opaque medium.
