Potassium chlorate is prepared by the electrolysis ofKClin basic solution6OH-+Cl-ClO3-+3H2O+6e-. If only60%of the current is utilized in the reaction, the time (rounded to the nearest hour) required to produce10gofKClO3using a current of2Ais..(Given :F=96, 500Cmol; molar mass ofKClO3=122 g mol-1)

Answer:
11.00
Solution:

Number of faradays = I×t96500

 =2×t×60×6096500F

Mass of KClO3 produce = 10 Gm

  {2×t×60×60/96500}×0.60×122×(1/6)=10
So t=10.98 hours
