A small metal bar, whose initial temperature was 30° C, is dropped into a large container of boiling water. How long will it take the bar to reach 80° C if it is known that its temperature increases 2° during the first second? (The boiling temperature for water is 100° C. Round your answer to one decimal place.)

Electroplating is a way to coat a complex metal object with a very thin (and hence inexpensive) layer of a precious metal, such as silver or gold. in essence the metal object is made the cathode of an electrolytic cell in which the precious metal cations are dissolved in aqueous solution. suppose a current of 480.ma is passed through an electroplating cell with an aqueous solution of agno3 in the cathode compartment for 46.0 seconds. calculate the mass of pure silver deposited on a metal object made into the cathode of the cell. round your answer to 3 significant digits. also, be sure your answer contains a unit symbol. ×10μ
