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?Hint: Remember that 1 mole of an ideal gas occupies a volume of 22. L at STP.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is A because the number of moles of chlorine gas produced is equal to the number of moles of electrons transferred, which is equal to the current multiplied by the time divided by the Faraday constant. The volume of chlorine gas produced is then equal to the number of moles multiplied by the molar volume of an ideal gas at STP.
