Transcribed Image Text:Rhodium is a bright, hard, and highly reflective metal. It is most commonly used to plate white gold as this
metal naturally has a yellow tone. If 1.91 g of rhodium is deposited at the cathode when a current of 6.65
A passes through an electrolytic cell for 1620 seconds, what is the oxidation state of rhodium in the
aqueous solution? (MW of rhodium=102.91 g/mol; Faraday constant = 96485 C/mol e`).
Oxidation number in this case refers to the charge of the ion. Input the value of the oxidation number (no symbols included).
