Question

A current of 5.0 A was passed through an electrolytic cell containing molten BaCl2 for 90 min. The following redox reaction took place.

2 Cl + Ba2+  →  Cl2  +  Ba

MM of Ba = 137.3 g/mol

MM of Cl2 = 70.9 g/mol

R = 8.314 J/mol∙K

F = 96,485 J/mol∙V

A. How much product (in g) will be formed at the anode?

B. How much product (in g) will be formed at the cathode?
