Question

in an electrolytic cell, a current of 0.250 ampere is passed through a solution of a chloride of iron, producing Fe{s) and Cl2(g). Write the equation for the reaction that occurs at the anode. when the cell operates for 2.00 hours, 0.521 gram of iron is deposited at one electrode. Determine the formula of the chloride of iron in the original solution. Write the balanced equation for the overall reaction that occurs in the cell. Calculate the current that would produce chlorine gas at a rate of 3.00 grams per hour.

Explanation / Answer

The reaction which occurs at anode is:
