Karl-Anthony is trying to plate gold onto his silver ring. He constructs an electrolytic cell using his ring as one of the electrodes. He runs this cell for 94.3 minutes at 205.3 mA. How many moles of electrons were transferred in this process

0.012 moles of electrons were transferred

Explanation:

We can find the number of electrons transferred from the time in seconds and the current in Amperes using the equation:

n = I*t / F

Where n are moles of electrons transferred

I is current in Amperes = 0.2053A

t is time in seconds:

94.3min*(60s/1min) = 5658s

F is faraday constant 96485A*s/mol

Replacing:

n = 0.2053A*5658s / 96485A*s/mol

n = 0.012 moles of electrons were transferred
