Options
- A9665 C
- B19300 C
- C14500 C
- D96500 C
Correct answer
B. 19300 C
Step-by-step solution
During electrolysis of molten NaCl , the following reaction takes place at anode: 2 Cl ⁻ Cl ₂+2 e ⁻ 1 mole of Cl ₂ is liberated with 2 moles of electrons. aligned & 0.1 mole of Cl ₂ will be liberated with 0.2 moles & of electrons. aligned
