For the electrolytic production of `NaClO_(4)` from `NaClO_(3)` according to the reaction `NaClO_(3)+H_(2)O rarr NaClO_(4)+H_(2). ` How many faradays of electricity would be required to produce `0.5 mo l e` of `NaClO_(4)`?

Options

A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. `1.5`

Answer

a

Explanation

`H_(2)O+ClO^(c-)._(3) rarr Cl_(4)^(c-)+2H^(o+)+2e^(-)`
`implies 1 mol ClO_(4)^(c-)-=2Fimplies0.5mol ClO_(4)^(c-)-=1F`
