Question

Potassium chlorate is prepared by electrolysis of KCl in basic solution as shown by following equation.

6OH^$-$ + Cl^$-$ $\to$ ClO₃^$-$ + 3H₂O + 6e^$-$

A current of xA has to be passed for 10h to produce 10.0g of potassium chlorate. The value of x is ____________. (Nearest integer)

(Molar mass of KClO₃ = 122.6 g mol^$-$1, F = 96500 C)
