In electrolysis of molten MgCl₂, 0.24 g of Mg (atomic mass 24 g/mol) is deposited. What volume of Cl₂ gas (STP) is produ

Cathode: Mg²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Mg . Moles = (0.24/24) = 0.01 mol , Charge = 0.01 × 2 × 96500 = 1930 C . Anode: 2Cl⁻ → Cl₂ + 2e⁻ . Moles Cl₂ = 0.01 mol , Volume = 0.01 × 22.4 = 0.224 L .

A dry cell delivers 0.1 A for 19300 s. What mass of MnO₂ (molar mass 87 g/mol) is reduced at the cathode? (F = 96500 C/m

Charge = 0.1 × 19300 = 1930 C . Cathode: MnO₂ + H⁺ + e⁻ → MnO(OH) , 1 mol MnO₂ requires 1F. Faradays = (1930/96500) = 0.02 F , Moles = 0.02 mol , Mass = 0.02 × 87 = 1.74 g .
