Suppose a current of 0.860A flows through a copper wire for 5.0 minutes. Calculate how many moles of electrons travel through the wire. Be sure your answer has the correct unit symbol and round your answer to 2 significant digits.

2.7×10⁻³ mole

Explanation:

Applying

Q = it Equation 1

Where Q = amount of charge, i = current, t = time

From the question,

Given: i = 0.860 A, t = 5 minutes = (5×60) seconds = 300 seconds

Subsitute these values into equation 1

Q = (0.860×300)

Q = 258 C

If one mole of electron has a charge of 96500 C

Then, x mole of electron will have a charge of 258 C

1 mole ⇒ 96500 C

X moles ⇒ 258 C

Solve for X

X = (258×1)/96500

X = 2.7×10⁻³ mole

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.
