A silver-20% gold alloy sample (1 cm diameter and 0.2 cm height) is subjected to a selective silver dissolution in 0.1 M HNO3 at current density of 1 mA/cm^2. Question: How long will it take until the total amount of silver is dissolved? Assume the average density of 8 g/ cm^3 for the alloy sample.
Diffussion controlled electrolysis
Diffussion controlled electrolysis proceeds on (a) planar and (b) spherical electrode under the conditions: n = 1, C = 1 mM, A= 0.04 cm^2, D = 1.5x10^-5 cm^2/s. Calculate the current (i) in both cases at t = 0.5, 1, 3, 10 sec. How long can the electrolysis proceeed before the current at the spherical electrode exceeds that ...continues

The Corrosion of Iron, a Daniell cell, and Electrolysis of KI
1. Why would a "tin" cane (iron plated with tin) rust more easily whan a galvanized pipe (iron coated with zinc), when both are exposed to weathering? 2. Why are cans of tin plate, rather than of galvanized iron, used for preparing fruits and other food products? 3. When zinc dust is mixed with 1 F CuSO4, the solution b ...continues
