Explanation:
Irrespective of the position of the ions in the electrochemical series, there is a tendency to promote the discharge of the most concentrated ion present. ... However, if the concentration of a particular ion is high, then this can alter the preferential discharge.

Answer:
Preferential discharge of ions during electrolysis. During electrolysis, there is a transfer of electrons which causes oxidation at the anode. The oxidation is as a result of the loss of electrons by the anions. ... More so, metals or hydrogen gas are discharged at the cathode, while non-metals are discharged at the anode
