3.Metal plating is done by passing current through a metal solution. For example, an item can become gold plated by attaching the item to a power source and submerging it into a Au3+ solution. The item itself serves as the cathode, at which the Au3+ions are reduced to Au(s). A piece of solid gold is used as the anode and is also connected to the power source, thus completing the circuit.

What mass of gold is produced when 8.80 A of current are passed through a gold solution for 18.0 min ?

Express your answer with the appropriate units.
