A teapot with a surface area of 335 cm2 is to be plated with silver. It is attached to the negative electrode of an electrolytic cell containing silver nitrate (Ag+ NO3−). The cell is powered by a 12.0-V battery and has a resistance of 1.90 Ω. If the density of silver is 1.05  104 kg/m3, over what time interval does a 0.133-mm layer of silver build up on the teapot?
