Question

A metal is released in the electrolysis of a salt at which electrode will it be deposited?

Answer 1

The metal which is released in the electrolysis is of simple salt, so it would generally be deposited on the cathode.

 For example, suppose we take sodium chloride (NaCl) then on breaking this into simpler form we get,

NaCl--> Na+ + Cl-

This can be said that as Na acquires positive charge, it shall move to negative electrode i.e. cathode.
