CHEM 1050 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Aqueous Solution, Sodium Chloride, Spontaneous Process
Document Summary
Notes: reduction rxn occurs at electrode (cathode) attached to. [positive or negative] terminal of the battery: oxidation rxn occurs at electrode (anode) attached to. [positive or negative] terminal of the battery. the the. The big difference with electrolysis is that we know the reactants (but have to predict the products)! One form of electrolysis involves a molten salt. Molten means the salt is heated to the point where the solid is converted to a liquid state. Ref: ebbing and gammon, general chemistry, 10th ed. , 2013, p. 807. Problem 1: which of the following are true for an electrolytic cell: g < 0, none of the above is true. 2h2o(l) + 2e h2(g) + 2oh (aq), e = 0. 83v (reduction at cathode) electrolytic cell. Predict the substance formed at the anode: i2(l, br2(l, ca(l, k(l) B k > 1: e cell > 0, all of the above are true.
