Respuesta :
35.53 grams of cl2 are generated by a current of 5.55 amperes flowing for 290 minutes in the electrolysis of aqueous NaCl.
What is electrolysis?
The process of electrolysis involves passing an electric current through a substance in order to modify its chemical composition.
[tex]NaCl[/tex] → [tex]Na^{+} +Cl^{-}[/tex]
[tex]2Cl^{-}[/tex] → [tex]Cl^{2} +2e^{-} , n=2[/tex]
Equivalent mass (E) is calculated as,
[tex]E=\frac{71 g}{2} \\=35.5 grams[/tex]
Time (t)= 290 minutes
=290 x 60 sec
=17400 sec
I= 5.55 Amp
The formula is given as,
m=ZIt
where Z= equivalent weight/96500
= 35.5 g/96500
Substituting the values in the above formula, we get
[tex]m=\frac{35.5}{96500} .5.55.17400\\=35.53 grams[/tex]
Therefore, 35.53 grams of cl2 are generated by a current of 5.55 amperes flowing for 290 minutes in the electrolysis of aqueous nacl.
