Question
In a test of the selectivity of an electrocatalyst for the reduction of carbon dioxide to methanol, electrolysis is carried out with a constant current of 0.370 A for 155 minutes.

What is the faradaic yield (the percent yield based on the current passed through the cell)?
A.
14.8%
B.
29.7%
C.
59.4%
D.โ Correct
89.2%
