Ice fishermen sit on top of frozen lakes in the winter and catch fish in the liquid water below through holes cut in the ice sheet. The fact that the lake doesn't freeze solid is a good thing for those fish who live there and for the hungry fishermen. In this problem we will investigate how long it takes for this sheet of ice to form and why the lake doesn't freeze solid during the winter. The water on the surface of the lake only starts to freeze when the air temperature is below the freezing temperature of water.

Why does the ice only form on the surface and not throughout the entire volume of the lake? Give your answer as a written explanation in complete sentences.

Electroplating is a way to coat a complex metal object with a very thin (and hence inexpensive) layer of a precious metal, such as silver or gold. in essence the metal object is made the cathode of an electrolytic cell in which the precious metal cations are dissolved in aqueous solution. suppose a current of 480.ma is passed through an electroplating cell with an aqueous solution of agno3 in the cathode compartment for 46.0 seconds. calculate the mass of pure silver deposited on a metal object made into the cathode of the cell. round your answer to 3 significant digits. also, be sure your answer contains a unit symbol. ×10μ
