  1. ????????


  2. 6.07 ug = 6.07 x 10^-6 g

    Moles Gold = 6.07 x 10^-6 g/ 197 g/mol =3.1 x 10^-8

    Au3+ + 3e- >> Au

    Fot every 3 Faradays consumed 1 mole of Au is produced

    3.1 x 10^-8 x 3 =9.2 x 10^-8 F

    96500 C/F x 9.2 x 10^-8 =0.00892 Coulomb

    30 min = 1800 seconds

    0.00892 C / 1800 = 4.96 x 10^-6 Ampere => 0.00496 mA
