The town of Natrium,West Virginia,derives its name from the sodium produced in the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride (NaCl)mined from ancient salt deposits.The number of kilowatt-hours of electricity required to produce 3.00 kg of metallic sodium from the electrolysis of molten NaCl(s)is ________ when the applied emf is 5.00 V.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the energy required, use the formula: Energy (kWh) = (moles of Na * Faraday's constant * Voltage) / (3600 * 1000). For 3 kg of Na, calculate moles, then use Faraday's constant (96485 C/mol) and the given voltage (5 V) to find the energy in kWh.
