Galvanized nails are iron nails that have been plated with zincto prevent rusting. The relevant reaction is

Zn2+(aq)+2e??Zn(s)

For a large batch of nails, a manufacturer needs to plate atotal zinc mass of 4.00 kg on the surface to get adequatecoverage.

How many coulombs of charge are needed to produce 61.2 mol ofsolid zinc?

Express your answer to three significant figures and include theappropriate units.

Part D

Identify the anode and cathode when plating an iron nail withzinc.

Zinc is the anode and iron is the cathode.

Iron is the anode and zinc is the cathode.

Zinc acts as both the anode and cathode.

Iron acts as both the anode and cathode.
