A metallurgist wants to gold-plate an object with a surface area of 17.21 in2. The gold plating must be 0.00200 in. thick (assume uniform thickness). (a) How many grams of gold (d=10.5g/cm3) are required? (b) How many minutes will it take to plate the object from a solution of AuCN using a current of 7.00 A? Assume 100% efficiency.
An aqueous solution of an unknown salt of gold is electrolyzed by a current of 2.75 amps for 3.39 hours. The electroplating is carried out with an efficiency of 93.0%, resulting in a deposit of 21.221 g of gold. a How many faradays are required to deposit the gold? b What is the charge on the gold ions (based on your calculations)?

the electroplating of a silver spoon, the spoon acts as thecathode and a piece of pure silver as the anode. Both dipinto a solution of silver cyanide (AgCN). Suppose that acurrent of 1.5 A is passed through such a cell for 22 minutesand that the spoon has a surface area of 16cm2. Calculatethe average thickness of the silver layer deposited onthe spoon, taking the density of silver to be 10.5gcm3.
An irregularly shaped metal part made from a particular alloy was galvanized with zinc using a Zn(NO3)2 solution. When a current of 2.599 A was used, it took exactly 1 hour to deposit a 0.01123-mm layer of zinc on the part. What was the total surface area of the part? The density of zinc is 7.140 g/cm3. Assume the efficiency is 100%.
