The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use Faraday's first law of electrolysis, which states that the mass of a substance deposited at an electrode during electrolysis is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity passed through the electrolyte. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - Current (I) = 0.5 A (amperes) - Time (t) = 200 seconds - Electrochemical equivalent (Z) for Ag = 0.00118 g/C (grams per coulomb) 2. **Calculate the Quantity of Electricity (Q):** The quantity of electricity (Q) can be calculated using the formula: \[ Q = I \times t \] Substituting the values: \[ Q = 0.5 \, \text{A} \times 200 \, \text{s} = 100 \, \text{C} \] 3. **Calculate the Mass of Silver Deposited (W):** According to Faraday's first law: \[ W = Z \times Q \] Substituting the values: \[ W = 0.00118 \, \text{g/C} \times 100 \, \text{C} = 0.118 \, \text{g} \] 4. **Conclusion:** The amount of silver deposited on the cathode is **0.118 grams**. ### Final Answer: The amount of silver deposited on the cathode is **0.118 grams**. ---
