Question

alkali metals are prepared by the electolisis of their fused chloride why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

al

kali mettel

Explanation:

Alkali metals are prepared by electrolysis of their fused chlorides because of the following reasons:

⇒ The discharge potential of alkali metals is much higher than that of hydrogen.

⇒ Therefore, when the aqueous solution of any alkali metal chloride is subjected to electrolysis, H2 instead of the alkali metal is produced at the cathode.

⇒ Therefore, to prepare alkali metals, electrolysis of their fused chlorides is carried out.

Answer 2

Explanation:

alkali metals are prepared by the electolisis of their fused chloride why?

This is because that they can't have electrolysis with their own salt Bcz of presence of hydrogen atom on cathode..
