Correct answer: 1
- Given electrode reaction
From the reaction, formation of 1 mole of requires transfer of 6 moles of electrons.
Since potassium chlorate is , 1 mole of corresponds to 1 mole of formed.
- Moles of produced
Given mass of
Molar mass of
- Moles of electrons required
From stoichiometry:
So,
- Total charge required
Using Faraday constant :
- Use to find current
Time
Nearest integer:
- Comparison with stored answer
Derived answer =
Stored correct answer =
So, the derived answer agrees with the stored answer.
