Problem

A laboratory intends to produce

0.50\,\text{mol}

\text{Cl}_2(g)

by electrolyzing molten NaCl at

25\,^{\circ}\text{C}

. If the minimum cell potential needed is

2.6\,\text{V}

, what is the minimum theoretical electrical work, in kilojoules, that must be supplied? (Faraday constant

F=9.65\times10^4\,\text{C mol}^{-1}

) a)

130\ \text{kJ}

48\ \text{kJ}

250\ \text{kJ}

500\ \text{kJ}
