In producing chlorine through electrolysis, 100 W power at 125 V is being consumed. The liberation of chlorine per min is: (ECE of chlorine is )
17.6 mg
21.3 mg
24.3 mg
13.6 mg
Given: Power () = 100 W Voltage () = 125 V Time () = 1 min = 60 s Electrochemical Equivalent () =
First, we find the current () using the relation :
Now, calculate the total charge () passed in 1 minute (60 seconds):
According to Faraday's First Law of Electrolysis, the mass () liberated is given by:
Converting kilograms to milligrams:
