Detailed Solution

Electrolysis of NaCl is
NaCl+H2O(aq)NaOH(aq)+12Cl2(g)+12H2(g)
Since during electrolysis pH changes to 12
So, [OH]=102and[H+]=1012
So by Faraday law
Gram amount of substance deposited = Amount of electricity passed
 102×6001000×96500=I×t 102×6001000×96500=I×5×60 I=102×600×965001000×5×60
I = 1.93 ampere
So, I = 2 ampere (nearest integer)
