Answer:
2.7×10⁻³ mole
Explanation:
Applying
Q = it.............. Equation 1
Where Q = amount of charge, i = current, t = time
From the question,
Given: i = 0.860 A, t = 5 minutes = (5×60) seconds = 300 seconds
Subsitute these values into equation 1
Q = (0.860×300)
Q = 258 C
If one mole of electron has a charge of 96500 C
Then, x mole of electron will have a charge of 258 C
1 mole ⇒ 96500 C
X moles ⇒ 258 C
Solve for X
X = (258×1)/96500
X = 2.7×10⁻³ mole
