2. Energy balance for electrolysis
2.1 Current efficiency
2.1.1 Production of an electrolytic cell
In the case of NaCl electrolysis, Faraday's law can be applied to calculate the amount of chlorine produced at the anode, proportional to the amount of current flowing through the cell:
Calculation of the hourly output of a NaCl electrolysis cell in aqueous solution at 120,000 A:
