An electrolysis cell is used to produce sodium from molten sodium chloride. How many kilograms of sodium are produced each hour if the cell operates with a supplied current of 1000 Amperes? (Faraday’s Constant, F = 96,500 C mol-1)
2 NaCl (s)
2 Na (s) + Cl2 (g)
Using Faraday law of electrolysis
W =
W is mass of product formed
E = gram equivalent mass of product formed
i is current in amp
t is time in sec.
given ,
i = 1000 amp
t = 1 hour = 3600 sec
F = 96500 C mol-1
E of Sodium = 23 g/ eqv
therefore,
W =
or, W = 858.03 g
or, W = 858.03 (g)
or, W = 0.858 Kg.
hence 0.858 Kg of sodium is produced per hour.
