from faraday's law: -
\mathrm{ W=\frac{E I t}{96500} \times n }
\mathrm{ W=1 \mathrm{~mol} \\ }

\mathrm{ n=0.67 \\ }
\mathrm{ t=1 \mathrm{~h}=3600 \mathrm{~s} }

RW :-
\mathrm{ 2 \mathrm{HSO}_4 \rightarrow \mathrm{S}_2 \mathrm{O}_8^{2-} }
\mathrm{ I=\frac{W \times 96500}{E \times \mathrm{t} \times n} }
\mathrm{ I=\frac{192 \times 96500 \times 2}{192 \times 3600 \times 0.67} }
\mathrm{ I=80.01 \mathrm{~A} }.
