Calculate the amount of chloride ions (Cl-) present in a 0.500 g sample of a sodium chloride (NaCl) solution using coulometry. The electric current used in the process was 2.26 A, and the time taken to completely react the sample was 120 s. The molecular weight of NaCl is 58.44 g/mol, and 1 mol of NaCl contains 1 mol of Cl-.
