Chapter 25: Problem 50
In an ionic solution, a current consists of Ca\(^2+\) ions (of charge \(+2e\)) and Cl\(^-\) ions (of charge \(-e\)) traveling in opposite directions. If \(5.11 \times 1018\) Cl\(^-\) ions go from \(A\) to \(B\) every 0.50 min, while 3.24 \(\times\) 10\(^{18}\) Ca\(^2+\) ions move from \(B\) to \(A\), what is the current (in mA) through this solution, and in which direction (from \(A\) to \(B\) or from \(B\) to \(A\)) is it going?
