Answer

531s

Explanation

Pt4+ + 4e- ---------> Pt

To deposite 1mole of Pt 4moles of electrons requirex

Initial moles of Pt4+= ( 0.025mol/1.00L) × 0.20L = 0.005mol

99% of 0.004mol = ( 0.005mol/100)× 99= 0.00495mol

moles of electrons required to deposite 0.00495moles of Pt = 4× 0.00495mol = 0.01980mol

charge of 0.01980moles of electrons = 96485C/mol ×0.01980mol = 1910.4C

1A = 1C/s

3.60A = 3.60C/s

time required = 1910.4C/3.60C/s = 531s
