ELECTROLYSIS of ethanolic brine water gives chloroform .explain with reaction and proper mechanism
Answers
The electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride (often referred to as 'brine' solution) is described in terms of apparatus and products formed. What are the products of the electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride solution (brine)?
Reminders: Electrolysis (of sodium chloride) is a way of splitting up (decomposition) of the compound (sodium) using electrical energy. The electrical energy comes from a d.c. (direct current) battery or power pack supply. A conducting liquid, containing ions, called the electrolyte (molten or aqueous sodium chloride) must contain the compound (sodium chloride) that is being broken down. The electricity must flow through electrodes dipped into the electrolyte, to complete the electrical circuit with the battery. Electrolysis can only happen when the circuit is complete, and an electrical current (electricity) is flowing, then the products of electrolysing aqueous sodium chloride solution (brine) OR molten sodium chloride are released on the electrode surfaces where they can be collected. Electrolysis always involves a flow of electrons in the external wires and electrodes and a flow of ions in the electrolyte and there is always a reduction at the negative cathode electrode (which attracts positive ions, cations) and an oxidation at the positive anode electrode (which attracts negative ions, anions) and it is the ions which are discharged to give the products.
