A 4.0 molar aqueous solution of NaCl is prepared and 500 mL of this solution is electrolysed. This leads to the evolution of chlorine gas at one of the electrodes (atomic masses: Na = 23, Hg = 200, 1 Faraday = 96500 coulombs). The total number of moles of chlorine gas evolved is

Quantrex Academy · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. 1.0

N a C l → N a + + C l - At anode: 2 C l - → C l 2 Moles of C l - = 2 in 500 ml. Therefore 1 mole of C l 2 evolves.
