Sodium metal is produced by the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride and chlorine is produced as a by product. How many litres of chlorine at 1.8 atm and `27^(@)C` will be produced if a current of `1.0 xx 10^(3)`A is passed through NaCl (l) for 9.65 h?

Options

A. 2463
B. 460
C. 1800
D. `1231.6`

Answer

A

Explanation

Equivalent of `Cl_(2)` produced `= (1000 xx 9.65 xx 3600)/(96500)= 360`
Moles of `Cl_(2)= 180`, so `V= (nRT)/(P) rArr (180 xx 0.0821 xx 300)/(1.8) = 2463L`
