Electrochemical Equilibria: Electrolytic Deposition
Olympic gold medals are plated with gold rather than being pure gold. A minimum of 6 grams of gold (MW = 196.97 g/mol) and at least one gram of silver (MW = 196.97 g/mol) must be present in an Olympic gold medal.
Silver content is 92.5 percent. A total of 340 gold medals were awarded at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 to  athletes who are deserving

Assume each medal is made by coating a 60-mm diameter, 3-mm thick, gold-free silver disc with a gold-free coating.  Determine the alloying of a disk with gold via electrolytic deposition using a gold (III) solution.

following:

a) Time in hours required to finish plating all gold medals used in the Tokyo Olympics  If the available electricity source can deliver 50 current in amperes, the Olympics will have a minimum gold content.
