An electrolysis cell is constructed with a K/K* half-cell at an iron electrode and a Cl/Cl2 half- cell at a carbon electrode. The carbon electrode is positive. Write balanced half-reactions and the overall reaction. How many grams of potassium are produced if a constant current of 4 A is passed through the cell for 5 hours? (Charge on 1 mol electrons = 96 500 Coulombs)
