Answer to Question #121311 in General Chemistry for Samuel

Question

Calculate the quantity of electricity pass when a current of 0.45 amps Flows for 25mins

Answer 1

The quantity of electricity is measured in coulombs C. It is calculated using the formula below.

$Q=I*t$ where,

Q is the quantity of electricity in C,

I is the current in amperes (amps) and

t is time in seconds.

In our question we are given,

I=0.45 amps and

t=25 minutes

Therefore we use the formula $Q=I*t$ to find Q

First convert 25 min into seconds

$t=25*60=1500$ seconds

$Q=0.45*1500$

$=675C$
