Question

Chromium metal can be plated out from an acidic solution containing CrO3 according to the following reaction:
CrO3+6H++6eCr+3H2O
Calculate the mass of chromium plated out by 24000 coulomb. How long will it take to plate out 1.5 g of chromium using 12.5 ampere current?

Solution

CrO3+6H++6e6×96500 CCr1 mole52 g+3H2O
Mass of chromium plated out by 24000 coulomb charge
=526×96500×24000=2.155 g
Charge required for plating out 1.5 g of chromium
=6×9650052×1.5=16701.92 coulomb
Time=ChargeCurrent=16701.9112.5=1336.15 second
=22.27 minute.
