Question

A steady direct current of $25	ext{ A}$ with an industrial current efficiency of strictly $62\%$ is passed through a brine ($NaCl$) solution. Which of the following analytical assertions logically follow from these parameters?

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A,B,C. Current efficiency () dictates that only a fraction of the total current drives the primary reaction. Effective current = . The missing is typically lost to heat or side reactions. Because actual product mass scales linearly with effective current via , the yield is exactly of the theoretical maximum. Faraday's laws never become invalid; they strictly apply to the *effective* current utilized.
