Silver can be electroplated at the cathode of an electrolysis cell by the half-reaction. ag+(aq)+e−→ag(s) part a silver can be electroplated at the cathode of an electrolysis cell according to the following half-reaction: ag+(aq)+e−→ag(s) what mass of silver plates onto the cathode when a current of 8.5 a flows through the cell for 68 min ?

Mass of silver deposited at the cathode is 37.1g

Explanation: According to Faraday Law of Electrolysis, the mass of substance deposited at the electrode (cathode or anode) is directly proportional to quantity of electricity passed through the electrolyte

Faraday has found that to liberate one gm eq. of substance from an electrolyte, 96500C of electricity is required.

+e− ==> Ag(s)

Given that

Current (I) = 8.5A

Time (t) = 65 *60 = 3900s

Quantity of electricity passed = 8.5*3900 =33150C

Molar mass of Ag= 108g

96500C will liberate 108g

33150C will liberate Xg

Xg= (108*33150)/96500

=37.1g

Therefore the mass of Ag deposited at the cathode is 37.1g.

metals are good conductor of electricity. it has free electrons on their surface. according to electron pool theory, each atom present in a metal crystal losses all of its valence electron and as a result a pool of free is form. these pool of electrons are free to move and   conduct electricity easily   while making metal as good conductor.

the correct answer is a. the ability of electrons to flow throughout the metal.

if it's not useful, feel free to report for mistake in answer.

you need to have a picture of the atom that way we can answer it
