Chapter 18, Problem 18.12P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The time required for sliver coating on cathode under given conditions should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Time required for plating/coating is calculated by:

  $t=\frac{wnF}{IM}$

Where,

w = mass of substance/metal

n = charge of metal ions

F = Faraday's constant

I = current in the cell

M = atomic mass of metal
