A small part with a surface area of 3.0 cm2 is plated with a gold coating that is 5.00x10-4 mm thick. The density of gold is 19.32 g/cm3.   a)  What mass of gold is in this coating? b)  If a barrel plating run has 6000 of these parts in a single barrel, how long would the run take if the current was 15 A? (Gold is effectively plated from Au+(aq)
