How long has a current of 3 ampere to be applied through a solution of silver nitrate to coat a metal surface of `80 cm^(2)` with 0.005 mm thick layer ? Density of silver is `10.5 g//cm^(3)`.

Answer» Mass of silver to be deposited
= volume `xx` density
= area `xx` thickness `xx` density
Given : Area `=80 cm^(2)`, thickness =0.0005 cm and density `=10.5 g//cm^(3)`
Mass of silver to be deposited `=80xx0.0005xx10.5`
`=0.42 g`
Applying to silver `E=Zxx96500`
`Z=108/96500 g`
Let the current be passed for t seconds.
We know that, `W=ZxxIxxt`
So, `0.42=108/96500xx3xxt`
or `t=(0.42xx96500)/(108xx3)=125.09` second
