Answer:
The desert was one covered by ocean water.
Explanation:
Data Given:
Time = t = ?
Current = I = 10 A
Faradays Constant = F = 96500
Chemical equivalent = e = 107.86/1 = 107.86 g
Amount Deposited = W = 17.3 g
Solution:
According to Faraday's Law,
W = I t e / F
Solving for t,
t = W F / I e
Putting values,
t = (17.3 g × 96500) ÷ (10 A × 107.86 g)
t = 1547.79 s
t = 1.54 × 10³ s
