An electrolytic cell is used to reduce Ti(3+) to Ti metal. If a current of 3.5 A is passed through a solution of Ti(3+) for 2.0 min, which expression below can be used to calculate the moles of Ti deposited?

Correct answer: D. (3.5)(2.0)(60)/(96,500)(3)
Rearrange Faraday’s Law: moles = I x t/n x F. Note that we have to convert min to s, and that 3 electrons are transferred in the redox reaction.
