Question

Consider following ions are present in an electrolyte: Na+ , K+ , H+ ,
SO4 2-, Cl- , OH- .

Electrolysis is carried out using platinum electrodes


i. The ion that would be discharged at the anode.


ii. The ion that would be discharged at the cathode.


iii. Give a reason to support your answer in (i) and (ii).


iv. Summarize the ionic reactions taking place at the cathode and at anode.​

Answer 1

Answer:

so2- 4 , cl- OH-,

negative ions discharge at anode

Na+ , K+ , H+

positive ions discharge at cathode
