Calculate the time that is required to electroplate a 1.0 mm thick silver layer on a 2.0 × 2.0 cm2 surface when a current of 1.0 A is allowed to pass through the electrolyte.
Density of silver is 10.5 g/cm3.
First calculate the area which is electroplate by silver
Thickness = 1.0 mm= 0.1 cm
Volume = thickness * area
= 2.0 × 2.0 cm2 × 0.1 cm
= 0.4 cm^3
Density = mass / volume
Mass = density * volume
= 10.5 g/cm3 *0.4 cm^3
= 4.2 g
Applying to silver E = Z × 96500
Z = 108/96500 g
Let the current be passed for t seconds.
We know that
W = Z × I × t
So, 4.2 = 108/96500 x 1.0 x t
or t = (4.2 × 96500)/(108×1.0)
=3752.77 second
= 62.55 min
= 1.04 hr

A freezer compartment is covered with a 3-mm-thick layer of frost at the time it malfunctions. If the compartment is in ambient air at 20°C and a coefficient of h 2 W/m2 、K characterizes heat transfer by natural convection from the exposed surface oi the layer, estimate the time required to completely melt the frost. The frost may be assumed to have a mass density of 700 kg/m3 and a latent heat of fusion of 334 kJ/kg

4. A 10 mm thick solid gel layer in water separates two enzyme solutions. The enzyme concentration in the solution at one surface of the gel layer is constant at 2.5 g enzyme/100 ml solution, whereas it is 0 at the other surface. It is known that the water is containing 2.1 wt% gel and diffusivity of the enzyme in the gel is 0.35 x 10-12 m/s. According to the given data, please calculate the flux of enzyme through the...
Suppose that you have to silver plate two spoons. The surface area to be plated with silver is 2.0 cm2 for each spoon. The thickness of the silver should be 4.5 mm. Knowing the density of silver as 10.5 g/cm3 and that the plating machine is only available for 3 hours 30 minutes, determine the electric current you have to use to achieve your two spoon silver plating for this period of time.
The ground profile of a construction site consists of a 3 m thick layer of sand followed by a 2 m thick layer of clay lying on impervious bedrock. The watertable is at a depth of 2 m below the ground surface. The sand has a dry unit weight of 16 kN/m and a saturated unit weight of 18 kN/m3. The capillary rise in sand is 0.5 m. The clay has a bulk unit weight of 19 kN/m 1. One...
A differential nitrogen pressure exists across a 2-mm-thick steel furnace wall. After some time, steady-state diffusion of the nitrogen is established across the wall. Given that the nitrogen concentration on the high-pressure surface of the wall is 5 kg/m3kg/m3 and on the low-pressure surface is 0.3 kg/m3 , calculate the flow of nitrogen through the wall (in kg/m2.h) if the diffusion coefficient for nitrogen in this steel is 1.0 ×10−10m2/s at the furnace operating temperature. Express your answer to three...
The time for 50% consolidation of a 25 mm thick clay specimen (drained at top and bottom) in the laboratory is 150 sec.
