A dilute Na 2 SO 4 solution is to be electrolyzed with a pair of smooth Pt

Question:

A dilute Na2SO4 solution is to be electrolyzed with a pair of smooth Pt electrodes at a current density of 100 A/m2 and a current of 0.100 A. The products are H2(g) and O2(g) at 1.00 bar. Calculate the required voltage if the cell resistance is 2.00 Ω and there is no concentration polarization. What voltage would be required if the Pt electrodes were replaced by Au electrodes?
