A calculation in Model 1 shows that an electrical current of 7.50 A deposits 4.56 g of Fe in 35.0 min. Using this calculation, answer: a) How many moles of electrons flowed through the cell in 35 minutes? b) How many moles of Fe were plated onto the cathode in 35 minutes? c) Why is the ratio (moles of electrons)/(moles of Fe)=2?
