ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS

1. A technician is plating a faucet with 0.86g of chromium from an electrolytic bath

containing aqueousCr 2 ( SO4 )3 . If 12.5 minutes is allowed for the plating, what current is
needed?

2. Using a current of 4.75A, how many minutes does it take to plate onto a sculpture 1.50g
of Cu from a CuSO4 solution?

3. In a study of the conversion of methane to other fuels, an analytical chemist, working at

the Pharmaceutical Chemistry laboratories mixes gaseous methane and water in a 3.2 x
105 μL flask at 1200K. At equilibrium, the flask contains 2.6 x 102 mmol CO, 91 mmol H2
and 41 mmol CH4.
I. Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction
II. What is the concentration of water at equilibrium?

4. Nitrogen monoxide, oxygen and nitrogen react together. Write the balanced chemical
equation for the reaction. Kc = 2.3 x 1030 at 298K. In the atmosphere, PO = 0.209 atm
