The quantity of charge (in Faraday) required to liberate 33.6 litre Cl2 from molten NaCl:
Open in App
Solution
2Cl−(l)→Cl2(g)+2e− Thus, the liberation of 1 mole (22.4 L) of chlorine corresponds to 2 moles of electrons or 2 faraday of charge. Hence, the liberation of 33.6 litre (1.5 moles) of chlorine will require charge of 3 faraday.
