Chapter 19, Problem 4P
In an ionic solution, a current consists of Ca2+ ions (of charge +2e) and Cl− ions (of charge −e) traveling in opposite directions. If 5.11 × 1018 Cl− ions go from A to B every 0.50 min. while 3.24 × 1018 Ca2+ ions move from B to A. what is the current (in mA) through this solution, and in which direction (from A to B or from B to A) is it going?
