Chapter 18, Problem 127AE

One of the few industrial-scale processes that produce organic compounds electrochemically is used by the Monsanto Company to produce1,4-dicyanobutane. The reduction reaction is

$2{\text{CH}}_{{}_2}═\text{CHCH}+2{\text{H}}^{+}+2{\text{e}}^{-}\to \text{NC}─{\left({\text{CH}}_2\right)}_4─\text{CN}$

The NC─(CH₂)₄─CN is then chemically reduced using hydrogen gas to H₂N─(CH₂)₆─NH₂, which is used in the production of nylon. What current must be used to produce 150.kg NC─(CH₂)₄─CN per hour?
