  1. A 96500 seconds
  2. B 9650 seconds
  3. C 965 seconds
  4. D 96.5 seconds
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 965 seconds

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(n_{e^-} = 0.5 \text{ mol } Cl_2 \times \frac{2 \text{ mol } e^-}{1 \text{ mol } Cl_2} = 1 \text{ mol }\) \(Q = n_{e^-}F = 1 \times 96500 \text{ C} = 96500 \text{ C}\)
