Question

How many minutes are required to deliver $3.21 \times {10^{26}}$ coulombs using a current of 500A. use in the commercial production of chlorine?
A.8.3
B.$5.3 \times {10^4}$
C.6420
D.107

Answer 1

Hint:Most chlorine is manufactured electrolytically by the diagram, membrane, or mercury cell process. In each process, a salt solution is electrolyzed by the action of direct electric current which converts chlorine ions to elemental chlorine. Chlorine is produced in a number of other ways.

Complete step by step:
Here we find the minutes to use in the commercial production of chlorine. We have the value of charge and current.
The formula is given below to find time,
Charge= $3.21 \times {10^{26}}$ C
Current=500 A
Time=(?)
Charge= Current$ \times $Time
 $3.21 \times {10^{26}}$ =500$ \times $Time
Time= \[\dfrac{{3.21 \times {{10}^{26}}}}{{500}}\]
          =6420s
          =107 min
Hence, option (D) is the correct answer.

Additional information:
Chlorine is produced on a large scale by any of a number of different methods. It is formed by the electrolysis of concentrated solution of NaCl in water. Hydrogen generated at the cathode and chlorine at the anode. At the same time, sodium hydroxide is produced in the electrolyte. Hence, this process is often referred to as chlorine-alkali electrolysis. Most of the chlorine produced is used for chemical processes involving the introduction of chlorine into organic compounds.

Note: The time for using production of chlorine depends on the current and charge. Chlorine is helpful to kill bacteria which is disinfectant. It is also useful to treat drinking water. Chlorine production involves several steps and many pieces of equipment. The production of chlorine is set in large scale. It produces in different steps.
