Question

Current passes through a solution of sodium chloride. In 1.00 second, 2.68×1016Na+ ions arrive at the negative electrode and 3.92×1016Cl− ions arrive at the positive electrode.
Part A.) What is the current passing between the electrodes? (answer in mA)
Part B.) What is the direction of the current in the ionic solution? (answer is either away from the negative electrode or towards the negative electrode)

Answer 1
