Problem

A cylindrical brass pin 2.50 cm long and 0.400 cm in diameter (ends masked) is plated sequentially with nickel (from Ni2+^{2+}) and then chromium (from Cr3+^{3+}) using the same constant current of 2.20 A for a total of 18.0 min. Exactly 60.0 % of the total charge is used for nickel deposition and the remainder for chromium. The densities of nickel and chromium are 8.90 g cm−3^{-3} and 7.19 g cm−3^{-3}, respectively. Calculate the thickness of each metallic layer in micrometres.
