52. Solution to Chemistry Problem

5. When determining cadmium by the internal electrolysis method, 10 ml of the CdSO4 solution under study was diluted with water to 50 ml. An acetate buffer solution was added to 20 ml of the resulting solution, the solution was heated, and a short-circuited platinum cathode and zinc anode were lowered into it. Electrolysis was carried out until a negative reaction for Cd2+ (by the action of hydrogen sulfide water). Determine the molarity of the initial CdSO4 solution if the anode mass decreased by 68.8 mg, and the cadmium current efficiency at the cathode was 95%.
