Magnesium metal is produced commercially...

Magnesium metal is produced commercially by the isolation of `MgCl_(2)` from sea water followed by electrolysis of molten salt
`MgCl_(2) to Mg+Cl_(2)`
(a) What mass of Mg can be produced if a current of 430 amperes is passed for 1.0 hour ?
If a current of 500 amperes is used, how many hours will be required to convert all the 1000 kg of `MgCl_(2)` into Mg metal ?
