Problem

A rectangular steel sheet with a surface area of 150 cm² (one side only) is coated with zinc by electrolysis. A current of 1.50 A is applied for 1.00 h using an electrolyte containing Zn²⁺. The density of zinc is 7.14 g cm⁻³. Calculate the average thickness of the zinc layer deposited on the sheet, expressing your answer in micrometers (µm).
