Question
What mass of barium is produced when molten $\mathrm{BaCl}_{2}$ is electrolyzed by a current of $2.50 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{~A}$ for $6.00 \mathrm{~h}$ ?
Step 1
First, we need to find the total charge passed through the molten BaCl2. We can do this using the formula: charge (Q) = current (I) × time (t). Show more…
