Problem
Chlorine gas is generated at 1.00 atm and 298 K by electrolyzing an aqueous NaCl solution. If 1.50 L of Cl₂(g) is collected in 45.0 min, what average current (in amperes) flowed through the cell? (Assume ideal-gas behavior and use R = 0.0821 L atm mol⁻¹ K⁻¹.)
(a) 4.78A
(b) 2.19A
(c) 4.38A
(d) 8.76A
