Question

In _electrolysis_,
What is more preferred during the selective discharge of ions :
Position in electrochemical series
_or_
Concentration of ions?

And whyy for conc. NaCl,
at cathode - H⁺ions are discharged(Considering the EC series)
_whereas_
at anode - Cl¯ions are discharged (Considering the Concentration of ions)


Please Explain me, my teacher Ignores my doubts or just say them out of syllabus ​

Answer 1

Answer:

this is because hydrogen has a positive charge as it forms H+ ions and positive and negative charges attract each other so hydrogen which is positively charged is stored at cathode and cathode is negatively charged .

Explanation:

Similarly, chlorine has a negative charge and anode has a positive charge so both attract each other and hence chlorine gas is stored at the anode .
