JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2021 - 20th July Evening Shift - No. 24)

Potassium chlorate is prepared by electrolysis of KCl in basic solution as shown by following equation.

6OH$$-$$ + Cl$$-$$ $$\to$$ ClO3$$-$$ + 3H2O + 6e$$-$$

A current of xA has to be passed for 10h to produce 10.0g of potassium chlorate. The value of x is ____________. (Nearest integer)

(Molar mass of KClO3 = 122.6 g mol$$-$$1, F = 96500 C)
Answer
1

Explanation

$$W = {E \over F} \times I \times t$$

$$10 = {{122.6} \over {96500 \times 6}} \times x \times 10 \times 3600$$

$$x = 1.311$$
