What current strength in amperes will be...

What current strength in amperes will be required to liberate 10 g of iodine from potassium iodide solution in one hour ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`=(96,500)/(127)xx"10 columb"`
Let the current strength be = I
Time in seconds `=1xx60xx60`
We know that the quantity of electricity, Q, used is given by the expression
`Q=Ixx" time in seconds"`
Curernt strength, `I=(Q)/(t)=(96,500xx10)/(127xx60xx60)`
= 2.11 ampere.
