Question

What happens to ph when agno3 solution is electrolysed?

Answer 1

Explanation:

You would get silver at the cathode, and oxygen at the anode.

Since silver is below hydrogen in the spectrochemical series,it tends to get reduced over hydrogen, similarly, since NO3− is above OH− , it tends not to get oxidised, therefore giving oxygen.

Ag++e−⟶Ag (at cathode)

4OH−⟶O2+2H2O+4e−
