Question

in 1 second, 2.68x10^16 Na ions arrived at the negative electrode and 3.92x10^16 Cl- ions arrive at the positive electrode what is the current passing through the electrodes?

Answer 1

10.56 mA

Step-by-step explanation:

Current passing through the electrodes I = I₁ + I₂ where I₁ and I₂ represent current for each electrode

I = Q / t = ( 2.68 × 10¹⁶ + 3.92 × 10¹⁶ ) × 1.6 × 10 ⁻¹⁹ C = 10.56 × 10 ⁻³ C = 10.56 mA
