Problem
An Ag⁺(aq) electrolytic cell (branch resistance = 5.0 Ω) is connected in parallel with a Cd²⁺(aq) cell (branch resistance = 10.0 Ω) across a power supply delivering a steady total current of 4.00 A. After 5.00 min the silver branch is opened, and the power supply continues to deliver 4.00 A exclusively through the cadmium cell for an additional 5.00 min. Determine the total mass of cadmium deposited. (Molar mass: Cd = 112.41 g mol⁻¹)
