Electrochemistry — practice question

The apparatus contains a cell that can be used to find a value for the Avogadro constant, $L$.
(a(i))[1]

Name the component X.

(a(ii))[1]

Suggest a suitable electrolyte for Y.

(b)[3]

During an experiment, a current of $0.200\,\text{A}$ flowed through the cell for $40.0\,\text{minutes}$. The mass of the silver cathode rose by $0.500\,\text{g}$. The electron has a charge of $-1.60 \times 10^{-19}\,\text{C}$. Calculate: • number of moles of silver deposited on the cathode • number of coulombs of charge passed • number of electrons passed • number of electrons needed to deposit $1\,\text{mol}$ of silver at the cathode.
