Lesson: Charge Transfer in Electrolysis

In this lesson, we will learn how to calculate the total amount of charge transferred during electrochemical processes such as electroplating.

Worksheet: 18 Questions

Q1:

How long would it take to reduce 1 mole of using a current of 1.057 A? Assume the voltage is sufficient to perform the reduction.

Q2:

How long would it take to reduce 1 mole of using a current of 19.8 A? Assume the voltage is sufficient to perform the reduction.

Q3:

In one process used for electroplating silver, a current of 10.23 A was passed through an electrolytic cell for exactly 1 hour.

How many moles of electrons passed through the cell?

What mass of silver was deposited at the cathode?
