Question

Calculate the mass of Li formed by electrolysis of molten LiCl by a current of 7.5X10^4 A flowing for a period of 24 hours. Assume the electrolysis is 85% effective.

Answer 1

C = amps x seconds = 7.5E4 x 24 hrs x 60min/hr x 60 sec/min = ?
96,485 C will plate 6.94 g.
6.94 x (? coulombs/96,495) = g Li plated if 100% efficient.
That x 0.85 if only 85% efficient.
