Q. For obtaining chlorine by electrolysis a current of 100 KW and 125 V is used. (Electro chemical equivalent of chlorine is $0.367 \times 10^{6}kgC^{- 1})$. The amount of chlorine obtained in one min will be
A) 1.7616 g
B) 17.616 g
C) 0.17161 kg
D) 1.7616 kg
Explanation
(b) $m = z\ I\ t = z\left( \ \frac{P}{V} \right)t$
$= 0.367 \times 10^{- 6}\left( \ \frac{100 \times 1000}{125} \right) \times 60$ kg
$= 0.017616$ kg = 17.616 g.
