Question

A major source of sodium metal is the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride. what magnitude of current (in amps) can produce 640.0 g of na(s) in 2.50 hours?

Answer 1

I = 2330.9 A

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnitude of the current produced by the metal of 1 kg has been 2330.9 A.

In electrophoresis, the transfer of 2 moles of electrons takes place per mole of Na.

The moles of sodium has been:

Moles =

Moles of Na = mol

Moles of Na = 43.47 mol

1 mole Na have = 2 moles electrons transfer

The total charge transfer in 1000 grams Na can be given by:

q = moles of Na moles of electrons transfer Faraday constant

q = 43.47 2 96500

q = 8.391 C

The current can be given by:

I =

I =

I = 2330.9 A

The magnitude of the current produced by the metal of 1 kg has been 2330.9 A.

Answer 2

The magnitude of the current produced by the metal of 1 kg has been 2330.9 A. i think
