  1. a.
    96,500 coulombs will deposit 1 equivalent of a metal. 1 equivalent of Ag is 107.9/1 electron = 107.9 grams. You have 94,500 C so.....

    b.
    2Cl^- ==> Cl2 + 2e
    96,500 C will release molar mass Cl2/2 = ? grams and that will occupy 22.4 L at STP. You have 96,500 C so ......

    c.
    96,500 C will deposit 1 equivalent of Cu. 1 equivalent of Cu is 64.54/2 = ?g.

  3. What are you supposed to use for C. Is it 96,485 or 96,500
    Assuming 96,500, then you should deposit 107.9 g Ag which I would round to 108 for three significant figures.

    For Cu I made a typo; it should be 63.55/2 and round that to 3 s.f.

    For the Cl2, it should be 70.9/2 grams or 22.4L/2 if you are to use 22.4 for the molar volume.
