Gallium is produced by the electrolysis of a solution made by dissolving gallium oxide in concentrated NaOH(aq). Calculate the amount of Ga(s) that can be deposited from a Ga(III) solution using a current of 0.760 A that flows for 50.0 min.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the applied current for the 50.0 mins provides the following charge to the system:

As 1 mole of electrons carries a charge of 1 faraday, or 96,485 coulombs, we can compute the moles of electrons involved during the reduction:

Then the reduction of Ga³⁺ to Ga involves the transference of three electrons, we are able to compute the moles and therefore the mass of deposited gallium:

Best regards!

neutrons are in the middle of the atom and the electrons, which are much smaller.

there is none because earth is stationary and flat.
