First, we need to determine the half reaction of magnesium. It would be expressed as:

Mg2+ + 2e- = Mg

Given the mass of magnesium metal that is produced, we calculate the total charge of the electrolysis by the relations we can get from the half reaction. We do as follows:

4.50 kg Mg ( 1000 g / 1 kg ) ( 1 mol / 24.305 g ) ( 2 mol e- / 1 mol Mg ) ( 96500 C / 1 mol e- ) = 35733388.2 C

We are given the applied EMF in units of V. This value is equal to J/C. So, 5 V is equal to 5 J/C.

35733388.2 C (5 J/C) = 178666941 J
178666941 J ( 1 kW-h / 3.6x10^6 J ) = 49.63 kW-h

Pavlova-9 [17]

Ferns use both sexual and asexual reproduction methods. In sexual reproduction, a haploid spore grows into a haploid gametophyte. ... The sporophyte produces spores, completing the life cycle. Asexual methods of reproduction include apogamy, poliferous frond tips, and rhizome spreading.
