Chromium metal can be plated out from an acidic solution contaning CrO3 according to the following equiation:
CrO3(aq)+6H⊕(aq)+6e−→Cr(s)+3H2O
The no. of grams of chromium that will be plated out by 2400 C current is: (write your answer to nearest integer)
CrO3+6H⊕+6e−→Cr+3H2O (Atomic weight = 52)
52 g of Cr is deposited by passing electric current of 6 96500 C.
(a) In the given data 2400 C current is passed, so amount of deposited Cr
= 52×240006×96500g=2.155g
