An inexpensive and accurate method of measuring the quantity of electricity passing through a circuit is to pass it through a solution of a metal ion and weigh the metal deposited. A silver electrode immersed in an Ag solution weighs 1.7854 g before the current passes and weighs 1.9274 g after the current has passed. how many coulombus have passed?

127.013 C

Explanation:

-We apply Faraday's First Law of Electrolysis which states that the mass,m of a substance deposited is directly proportional to the current,Q passed through it:

Where Z is the proportionality constant(g/C)

-The current can therefore be calculated as:

Hence, the amount of current through the circuit is 127.013 C
