Purification of chromium can be achieved by electrorefining chromium from an impure chromium anode onto a pure chromium cathode in an electrolytic cell. How many hours will it take to 19.5 kg of chromium onto the cathode if the passed through the cell is held constant 32.5 A? Assume the chromium in the electrolytic solution is present as Cr^ 3+
In electrochemistry, specific conductance is defined as (1000/N)* k, where N is the normality of the salt solution and k is the specific conductance. Current is carried by both anions and cations to a different degree. Thus, the equivalence of a salt is the sum of the ionic conductances of the cation and anion. If the ionic conductance of Na+ is 50.1 and that of Cl- is 76.6. What is the estimated concentration of NaCl in mg/L. The specific conductance of NaCl is 125x106.

Note: This is not a graded question. This question is from my reviewer.
We want to determine the purity of copper in the wires used for electrical cables. This can be done using an electrolysis device with platinum electrodes and the following procedure:
Weigh the electrodes and a piece of copper wire from a wire and record their mass.
Dissolve the copper metal (Cu) with a solution of relatively dilute HNO3 (aq).
Add hydrazine (N2H4) to the solution to give the solution a reducing agent better than H2O.
Place the solution in the electrolysis apparatus, immerse the electrodes in it and start transmitting electricity.
Copper metal (Cu) begins to deposit on one of the two electrodes. At the same time, we observe that gas bubbles are released from the solution.
When the reaction is complete, stop the passage of electricity, disconnect the electrode, to which Cu has been deposited, and after drying, weigh it.
From the difference in mass of the electrode and the known amount of Cu that we had dissolved, we calculate the purity of Cu.
(a) How can we remove Cu…
