A silver coulometer (Study Question 106) was used in the past to measure the current flowing in an electrochemical cell. Suppose you found that the current flowing through an electrolysis cell deposited 0.089 g of Ag metal at the cathode after exactly 10 min. If this same current then passed through a cell containing gold(III) ion in the form of [AuCl4], how much gold was deposited at the cathode in that electrolysis cell?
