Problem

A steel panel with a surface area of 25.0 cm^{2} is to be coated with a 10.0 μm-thick layer of nickel by electrolysis of an aqueous Ni^{2+} solution. The nickel layer is deposited uniformly and has a density of 8.90 g cm^{–3}. If the plating must be completed in 30.0 min, what constant current is required? (Molar mass Ni = 58.69 g mol^{–1}; assume F=9.65×104 C mol−1F = 9.65\times10^{4}\,\text{C mol}^{-1}) a) 0.203 A0.203\ \text{A} b) 4.06 A4.06\ \text{A} c) 0.406 A0.406\ \text{A} d) 0.812 A0.812\ \text{A}
