Suppose that you planned to gold-plate a medallion using a 0.500M solution of Au(NO3)3 using a current of 0.50 amps over a period of 3 hours.
1) how many grams of gold would plate on the metal used for the medallion?
Explain what you are thinking as you show your calculations.
2) how much 0.500 M Au(NO3)3 solution would you need to prepare to accomplish this?
3) If the price of the base metal is negligible, and the price of gold is $ 1791.05/oz. ( as of the date of this publication), what is the value of the medallion?
