An electric current of 100 ampere is passed through a moltan liquid of sodium chloride for 5 hours. Calculate the volume of chlorine gas liberated at the electrode at NTP.

Answer» The reaction taking place at anode is :
`underset(71.0 g)(2Cl^(-)) rarr underset((71.0 g),("1 mole"))(Cl_(2))+underset(2xx96500" coulomb")(2e^(-))`
`Q=I xx t=100 xx 5xx 60xx 60` coulomb
The amount of chlorine liberated by passing `100xx5xx60xx60` coulomb of electric charge
`=1/(2xx96500)xx100xx5xx60xx60=9.3264` mole
Volume of `Cl_(2)` librated at `NTP=9.3264xx22.4=208.91 L`
