Question:medium

Suppose that gold is being plated on to another metal in an electrolytic cell. The half-cell reaction producing Au(s) is \[ \text{AuCl}_4^- \rightarrow \text{Au}(s) + 4\text{Cl}^- - 3e^- \] If a 0.30 A current runs for 15.00 min, what mass of Au(s) will be plated? (Faraday constant = 96485 C/mol, molar mass of Au = 197)

Show Hint

Always divide by number of electrons in half-reaction.
