Question
A new electrode material is being tested for its ability to selectively reduce oxygen gas to hydrogen peroxide. After running an electrolytic cell using this electrode for 110.0 minutes at a current of 0.150 A, the solution in the cathode compartment is analyzed and is found to contain 2.00 ร 10-3 mol H2O2. What is the percent yield of H2O2 based on the current passed through the cell (the faradaic yield)?
A.
19.5%
B.โ Correct
39.0%
C.
78.0%
D.
100%
