(a) In the electrolysis of aqueous NaCO3, how many liters of O₂(g) (at STP) are generated by a current of 53.9 A for a period of 73.9 min? The unbalanced chemical reaction representing this electrolysis is shown below. NaClO3(aq) + H₂O(l) < Cl₂(g) + O₂(g) + NaOH(aq) 7.93 X liters of O₂(9) is generated by this electrolysis. (b) How many moles of NaOH(aq) are formed in the solution in this process? 5.614 x moles of NaOH(aq) are formed.
