How many liters of chlorine gas, measured at STP, would be produced by the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride using a current of 3.50 amperes for 46 minutes? (Cl: 35.453 g/mol)
Solution
2Cl- ---> Cl2 + 2e-
q=i*t = 9450 coulomb
n=q/f = 0.098 moles e-
so mole of Cl2 = 0.098/2 = 0.049 moles
at STP 1 mole = 22.4L
so volume of CL2 = 1.0976 L
