Question

Mention the Factors affecting selective discharge of

ions. explain any one in detail​

Answer 1

Answer:

Selective discharge of ions depends on three factors :

(a) The relative position of ions in the electrochemical (activity) series.

(b) The relative concentration of ions.

(c) The nature of the electrodes.

Answer 2

When two or more ions of the same charge are present in a solution of an electrolyte, under identical conditions, and are competing for discharge at the same electrode, one of them gets preferentially discharged. This is known as selective discharge of ions.
