Question

For the electrolytic production of NaClO4 from NaClO3 according to
the given equation NaClO3 + H2O = NaClO4 + HE, the no of Faraday's
of electricity required to produce 0 5 mole of NaClO4

Dear Student,

The computation are expressed below,

ClO3-+H2O→ClO4-+2e-+2H+in this reaction oxidation number of chlorine shifts from +5 to +7 w
r
tproduction of 1 mole of perchlorate needs 2F
so for 0 5 mole it requires 1F
Ans=1F
