6. Calculate the current in amperes required to produce 18.0g of aluminium

in 1.50 hours (Al=27, 1F = 96500C)

THE CURRENT REQUIRED TO PRODUCE 193000 C OF ELECTRICITY IS 35.74 A.

Explanation:

Equation:

Al3+ + 3e- > Al

3 F of electricity is required to produce 1 mole of Al

3 F of electricity = 27 g of Al

If 18 g of aluminium was used, the quantity of electricity to be used up will be:

27 g of AL = 3 * 96500 C

18 G of Al = x C

x C = ( 3 * 96500 * 18 / 27)

x C = 193 000 C

For 18 g of Al to be produced, 193000 C of electricity is required.

To calculate the current required to produce 193 000 C quantity of electricity, we use:

Q = I t

Quantity of electricity = Current * time

193 00 = I * 1.50 * 60 * 60 seconds

I = 193 000 / 1.50 * 60 *60

I = 193 000 / 5400

I = 35.74 A

The cuurent required to produce 193,000 C of electricity by 18 g of aluminium is 35.74 A
