  1. a rate of 1.814 mol/hr where n = 1,  needs 1.814 moles of electrons per hour

    let's find out how many Coulombs that is:

    1.814 mol electrons  @ 96,485 Coulombs per mole of electrons = 175,024 coulombs

    Since 1 Coulomb is an amp-second, that turns into 175,024 amp-seconds

    At 3600 second in an hour, how many amps is that per hour:

    175,024 amp-seconds / (3600 seconds/ hour) = 48.618 amps

    your answer is 48.62 amps
