1)
I = 1.600 A
t = 46.0 min = 46.0*60 = 2760.0 sec
For silver
Electro-chemical equivalent
E = 4.0246g/amp-hr = 4.0246/3600 g/Amp.sec = .001118 g/Amp.s
Therefore, silver deposited
m = E*I*t = 0.001118*1.6*2760 = 4.94 gm --Answer (a)
2)
half-life T = ...

- " In question 2, you incorrectly add in the $3.00 dividend that was just paid to determine the value of the stock price using the dividend discount model. In question 4 response, it should have also been recognized that dividend discount models are not useful if any of the parameters used in the model are inaccurate. "
