Answer:
a) 10.56mA the current passing between the electrodes
b) away from the negative charge
Explanation:
The detailed step by step calculation is as shown in the atached file.
By Application of faradays first law of electrolysis. i.e Q = it
Electric Current is the flow of charged particles such as electron. The current between electrodes is [tex]\bold { 10.56 m A}[/tex] and the direction of the current is towards the negative electrode.
Electric Current :
It is the flow of charged particles such as electron in a conductor. It is measured in Ampere.
Thew formula of the electric current is,
[tex]\bold {I = \frac{Q}{t} }[/tex]
Where,
Q - charge
t - time
Given here
The formula of the charge is
Q = n x e
Charge of the [tex]\bold {Na^+}[/tex]
[tex]\bold {Q = 2.68 x 10^1^6\times 1.6 x 10^-^1^9} \\\\\bold {Q = 4.288 x 10^-^3 C}[/tex]
Charge on the Chlorine ions
[tex]\bold {q = 3.92 x 10^1^6\times 1.6 x 10^-^1^9} \\\\\bold {q = 6.27 x 10^-^3 C}[/tex]
The net current in between electrodes,
[tex]\bold {I = \frac{Q}{T}+ \frac{q}{t} }[/tex]
put the values in the formula
[tex]\bold {I = \frac{4.28 x10^-^3}{1}+ \frac{6.27x 10^-^3}{1} }\\\\\bold {I = 10.56x 10^-^3}[/tex]
Since the ions are moving form positive to negative electrodes, hence the direction of the current is towards the negative electrode.
Therefore, the current between electrodes is [tex]\bold { 10.56 m A}[/tex] and the direction of the current is towards the negative electrode.
