Question

What mass (in g) of each product is produced in each of the following cells used for the electrolysis of molten salts, if a total charge of 2.93 ✕ 10⁵ C passes through each cell? (To solve this problem, assume that standard states apply, and that the reduction potential at each of the melting points is the same as the respective standard reduction potential. Also assume that the efficiency is 100%, and that the voltage is sufficient to perform the reduction.)

(a)

LiF

metallic product =.   

non-metallic product =.   g

(b)

AlCl₃

metallic product =  g

non-metallic product  g

(c)

MnF₂

metallic product  g

non-metallic product  g

(d)

ScBr₃

metallic product  g non-metallic product  g
