Predict the product of electrolysis in each of the following: (i) An aqueous solution of with silver electrodes. (ii) an aqueous solution of with platinum electrodes. (iii) A dilute solution of with platinum electrodes. (iv) An aqueous solution of with platinum electrodes.
Solution:
(i) Electrolysis of aqueous solution of with silverelectrodes, At cathode: Agions have lower discharge potential than Hions. Hence,Agions will be deposited as Ag in preference to Hions. At anode: As Ag anode is attacked by NO ions, Ag of the anode willdissolve to form Agions in the solution. (ii) Electrolysis of aqueous solution of using platinum electrodes, At cathode: Ag will be deposited. At anode: As anode is not attacked, out of OHand NO ions, OHionshave lower discharge potential. Hence, OHions will be discharged inpreference to NO ions, and OHwill then decompose to give out O. , (iii) Electrolysis of dilute with platinum electrodes, At cathode: At anode: Thus, is liberated at the cathode and at the anode.(iv) Electrolysis of aqueous solution of with platinum electrodes,At cathode: ions will be reduced in preference to ions.At anode: Clions will be oxidized in preference to OHions.Thus, Cu will be deposited on the cathode and will be liberated at theanode.
