Answer:
6 moles of oxygen, or 3O2.
Explanation:
I would build a proportion for this:
The metal component of the given compound, CrCl3, is chromium. The number of moles per 1 g of chromium is calculated through the equation below,
n = (1 g Cr)(1 mol Cr/51.996 g Cr)
n = 0.0192 mol Cr(3 electrons/1 mol Cr)
n = 0.0577 e-
Determine the number in charge by multiplying with Faraday's constant,
C = (0.0577 mol Cr)((1 F/1 mol e-)(96485 C/ 1F)
C = 5,566.87 C
Then, calculate time by dividing the charge with the current,
t = 5566.87 C/1.5 A
t = 3711.25 minutes
t = 61.84 hours
