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.

89.2%
