In the industrial "chlor-alkali" process, pure chlorine and sodium hydroxide are produced by electrolyzing brine, essentially an aqueous solution of sodium chloride. Suppose a current of 610.A is passed through an aqueous solution of  NaCl for 77.0 seconds. Calculate the mass of pure chlorine produced. Round your answer to 3 significant digits. Also, be sure your answer contains a unit symbol.
