What is seen at the anode when a solution of copper chloride is electrolysed?

In MOLTEN zinc chloride, At the cathode: Zn2+ + 2e- --> Zn(s) At the anode: 2Cl- --> Cl2(g) + 2e- In CONCENTRATED aqueous zinc chloride solution, At the cathode: 2H+ + 2e- --> H2(g) At the anode: 2Cl- --> Cl2(g) + 2e- (Zinc is not formed as it's Enaught value is very negative. Chlorine is still formed though.) In dilute (less than 5%) squeous zinc chloride solution, At the cathode: 2H+ + 2e- --> H2(g) At the anode: 2O2- --> O2(g) + 4e-


What is formed at the anode and the cathode during the electrolysis of sodium iodide?

If a solution of NaI is electrolyzed, iodine is formed at the anode and hydrogen gas at the cathode. In the instance if it is the molten liquid of NaI, it would emit sodium from the sodium at the cathode and iodine at the anode.


What process occurs at the anode in the electrolysis of molten Sodium chloride?

oxidation


What are the products of electrolysisof molten sodium chloride?

Sodium metal at the cathode, chlorine gas at the anode


How do you separate chlorine from salt?

Electrolyse the molten salt. This will form sodium at the cathode and Cl2 at the anode. Electrolysis of an aqueous solution odf salt will produce hydrogen at the cathode and chlorine gas at the anode.


What is formed during elecrolysis?

anode mude,pure metal.


How anode rays are formed from the gas?

Gas discharge tubes are what cause the formation of the anode rays. Several thousand bolts are put towards the cathode, which is apart of the gas discharge tubes, and the anode. This creates the anode rays.


Which type of elements form at the anode?

Those gases discharge on anode which have nagative ions in solutions as Cl2,O2, Br2 etc.


Why are different products obtained when molten and aqueous NaCl are electrolized?

When molten NaCl is electrolyzed, the two elements sodium and chlorine are produced at the cathode and anode respectively. In an aqueous solution, however, hydrogen gas is produced at the cathode and oxygen gas at the anode, because these reactions can occur at lower electrode potentials than the production of the elements of NaCl.


How metals are formed?

Abstract of the Disclosure A method for the electrolytic production of metal, includes electrolyzing, between anodic and cathodic surface areas, a compound of the metal dissolved in a molten solvent, the electrolyzing being performed at a temperature such that the metal is formed in the molten state, the metal collecting in a molten metal pad, wherein the improvement includes the provision of cathodic surface area in the form of an array of elements protruding out of the pad into the melt toward the anodic surface area for establishing a series of locations at which the anode-cathode distance is up to 1-1/4 inches
