What is role of graphite rod in electrometallurgy of Al?

In the electrometallurgy of aluminium, a fused mixture of purified alumina (Al 2 O 3 ), cryolite (Na 3 AlF 6 ) and fluorspar (CaF 2 ) is electrolysed. In this electrolysis, graphite is used as the anode and graphite-lined iron is used as the cathode. During the electrolysis, Al is liberated at the cathode, while CO and CO 2 are liberated at the anode, according to the following equation. If a metal is used instead of graphite as the anode, then O 2 will be liberated. This will not only oxidise the metal of the electrode, but also convert some of the Al liberated at the cathode back into Al 2 O 3 . Hence, graphite is used for preventing the formation of O 2 at the anode. Moreover, graphite is cheaper than other metals.

What is produced when Sodium Chloride undergoes electrolysis?

Sodium would be sticking to the cathode and chlorine gas will be liberated right from the anode region. This is because sodium ion is positive and chlorine ion would be negative by polarity.


Is iron a anode or cathode?

it is an anode


What kind of sign does anode has?

An anode is positive, Cathode is negative. As such, an anode would usually be denoted as + If that is what you meant.


Which electrode in the anode is galvanic cell?

Zinc is the anode.


Can electrolysis mean destruction of tissue by electrical current?

Yes, it can. What happens is sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas are generated at the cathode (negative electrode), whereas hydrochloric acid and chlorine gas or oxygen or both are liberated at the anode (positive electrode).


Why anode and cathode rays do not get neutralized?

There is no such thing as anode rays!!


Name of one electrode and say is positive or negative?

The Cathode is the negative electrode; the anode is the positive electrode
