Question

Chlorine gas (Cl2) can be prouced from a solutioncontaining Cl- ions. What must be the currentthrough an electrolytic cell to produce 1.0 kg of Cl2gas in 15 hours? Use a charge of 1.6e-19 C, Avogadro's number6.02e23, and an atomic mass of 35.5 g for Chlorine Chlorine gas (Cl2) can be prouced from a solutioncontaining Cl- ions.

Explanation / Answer

1.0 kg * (1000 g/1 kg) * (1 mol Cl2/35.5 g) * (96485 C/1mol Cl2) = 2.7 x 106 C I = Q/t = (2.7 x 106)/[15 hours * (3600 s/hour)] =50 A
