    When Cr+3 + 3e - → Cr (s)

    So according to the charge formula:

    charge Q = I * t

    when we have I (the current) = 7.4 a

    and t (the time in seconds) = 1.85d * 24h * 60 min*60sec = 159840 sec

    by substitution:

    Q = 7.4 a * 159840 sec = 1182816 C

    now to get the mass we have to use Faraday constant which is:

    F = e NA

    = 1.602 x 10^-19 * 6.022 x 10^23

    = 96485 C mol^-1

    when e is the electron charge & NA Avogadro's number for the charge in on mol

    and as we can see from the equation Cu3 + reacts with 3 electrons so,

    the mass of Cr (s) = Q * (1mole-/F) * (1molCr / 3 mol e-)

    = 1182816 * (1/96485) * (1/3)

    = 4.1 g
