Why are different products obtained when molten and aqueous NaCl are electrolized?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
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.

When aqueous calcium nitrate is added to aqueous lithium sulfate a reaction occurs?
The products of the reaction are solid calcium sulfate and aqueous lithium nitrate.
What are the products of the electrolysis of aqueous lead nitrate?
Oxygen on the anode and lead on the cathode. Since it's electrolysis, the reaction is not spontaneous.
Is there a reaction between silver nitrate and sodium sulfide?

How can you make salts out of aqueous ammonia?
Salts are obtained after the reaction of NH4OH with acids.
When aqueous calcium nitrate is added to aqueous lithium sulfate a reaction occurs?
The products of the reaction are solid calcium sulfate and aqueous lithium nitrate.
Will there be a reaction if all reactants and possible products are aqueous?
Yes, between reactive chemicals there is likely to be a reaction which will lead to precipitation if all the reactants and possible products are aqueous. The reactants, although aqueous, could fail to react if they are endothermic.
What would happen if an aqueous solution of sugar is heated to dryness?
Crystals of sugar are obtained.
How is an aqueous solution different from other solutions?
In an aqueous solution the solvent is water.
Will there be a reaction if all reactants and possible products are aqueous while no insoluble salts precipitate are formed?
There will be no reaction if all the reactants and possible products are aqueous while there is no insoluble salts precipitate that are formed.
What is electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride?
Sodium metal can be obtained by electrolysis from molten mixture of sodium chloride and calcium chloride in Down's cell. The metal can not be obtained by electrolysis from aqueous solution, because hydrogen will evolve instead.
What is a different word for a chemical liquid?
aqueous
How is aqueous solution different from other solutions.?
In an aqueous solution the solvent is water.
How do you separate iodine crystals from diamond?
Dissolve the mixture in water. Filter the mixture obtained. You will have diamond as your residue and aqueous iodine as your filtrate.
What are products when white phosphorous is reacted with aqueous NaOH?
when white phosphorus reacts with aqueous NaOH, phosphine gas and sodium hypophosphite are formed.P4 + 3NaOH + 3H2O = 3NaH2PO2 + PH3
