The number of moles of electrons can be calculated using the formula: moles = (current in amperes × time in seconds) / (Faraday's constant, 96485 C/mol). First, convert 3.40 hours to seconds (3.40 hours × 3600 seconds/hour = 12240 seconds). Then, calculate the moles of electrons: (17.0 A × 12240 s) / 96485 C/mol ≈ 2.16 mol.
