Answer:
0.012 moles of electrons were transferred
Explanation:
We can find the number of electrons transferred from the time in seconds and the current in Amperes using the equation:
n = I*t / F
Where n are moles of electrons transferred
I is current in Amperes = 0.2053A
t is time in seconds:
94.3min*(60s/1min) = 5658s
F is faraday constant 96485A*s/mol
Replacing:
n = 0.2053A*5658s / 96485A*s/mol
n = 0.012 moles of electrons were transferred
Moles are the mass per unit molar mass of compound. The number of moles of electrons that are transferred is 0.012 moles.
An electrolytic cell is a type of electrochemical cell that uses electrical energy from external sources to conduct the chemical energy in a cell.
The moles transferred in electrolytic cells are measured as:
[tex]\rm n = \rm \dfrac{I\times t}{F}[/tex]
Given,
Current (I) in amperes = 0.2053 A
Time (t) in seconds = 5658 sec
Faraday constant (F) = 96485 A -s/mol
Substituting values in the equation above moles (n) can be calculated as:
[tex]\begin{aligned} \rm n &= \dfrac{ 0.2053 \times 5658 }{96485}\\\\&= 0.012 \;\rm mol\end{aligned}[/tex]
Therefore, 0.012 moles are transferred in this process.
