Work Step by Step
A) Different reactions are possible in the electrolysis of an aqueous solutions. Based on the information above the possible reactions at the anode are:
1. 2C1-(aq) —)C12(g)+ 2e-
2. 2H20(/)—>02(g)+4H•(aq)+4e-
B) Based on the information above the possible reactions at the cathode are:
1. Na+ (aq) + e- Na(s)
2. 2H20(/)+ 2e" --> H2(g)+ 201-1- (aq)
C) Chlorine gas is more readily oxidized and will occur at the anode.
