Problem

A current of 40 microampere is passed through a solution of AgNO3\text{AgNO}_3 for 32 minutes using Pt electrodes. A uniform single atom thick layer of Ag is deposited covering 43% cathode surface. What is the total surface area of cathode if each Ag atom covers 5.4×10−16 cm25.4 \times 10^{-16} \text{ cm}^2 ?
