Problem
An industrial operation uses two identical electrolytic cells connected in parallel to produce 5.0 kg of aluminum metal in 24.0 h. The cathode reaction is Al³⁺ + 3 e⁻ → Al(s). Assuming the current divides equally between the two cells, calculate the current that must flow through each cell (in amperes).
