You have a 10.0 cm diameter sphere that you would like to have plated with gold metal. How long will it take to electroplate a 25.0 micron thick coating onto the sphere using Au+3 and a current of 5.00 amps? The density of gold is 19.31 g/cm3. 1 micron = 1.00×10–4 cm. [hint: Calculate the difference in volume of the coated and uncoated spheres and then use the density information to determine your answer.]
