3. If the amperage in your electrolysis cell were increased by a factor of 2, what effect would this have on the time required to produce the same amount of hydrogen? 4. Electrolysis of an NaCl solution with a current of 2.00 A for a period of 200 s produced 59.6 mL of Cl2 at 650 mm Hg pressure and 27 °C. Calculate the value of the Faraday's Constant from these data. 5. Why are different products obtained when molten...
13. What reaction occurs at the anode during the electrolysis of molten silver chloride? A. AgCl(1) ► Ag" (l) + CE(1) B. Ag (l) +e → Ag(1) C. Ag() ► Ag () + D. 2CH(1) Cl2(g) + 2e E. Cl2(g) + 2e → 201(1) 14. One of the differences between a voltaic cell and an electrolytic cell (where electrolysis occurs) is that in an electrolytic cell: A. electrical energy is supplied from an outside energy source to drive a nonspontaneous...
a. For the electrolysis of molten BaCl2, diagram a cell. Include the direction in which a battery would be placed to power the cell. Write out half-reactions. Label flow of electrons, anode, cathode, indicate what is formed at each electrode (assume electrodes are generic metal). Could this reaction be carried out in aqueous solution? Why or why not (justify numerically). b. 0.67 g of Ag is deposited electrolytically from AgNO3after a certain period of time when subjected to a 12A...
Name: Electrochemistry and Equivalent Mass Figure 4: Electrolysis of NaCl(a) "brine" solution. 4. Refer to figure 4, an illustration of the electrolysis of a NaCl(aq) solution, called a brine". This method is used to manufacture chlorine gas and sodium hydroxide. Chlorine is widely used to purify water, as a disinfectant, and in the making of important compounds such as chloroform, a compound used in the production of Teflon. Chloride ions are oxidized in the anode half-cell and water is reduced...

An industrial process referred to as the Downs cell converts molten sodium chloride into its constituent elements through electrolysis. The cell consists of a mixture (40%) of NaCl in CaCl2 (60%) at 600°C. Calcium ions do not participate in the reaction. The graphite anode is encircled by a steel cathode. Sodium floats over the denser electrolyte and is conveyed to a reservoir while chlorine gas escapes through a vertical pipe.[10]a. Identify the oxidizing and the reducing agent (1)b. Draw a...
Explain why A-C are incorrect
12) An electrolysis setup can run electrochemical reactions that are not spontaneous because: A) It changes the ion concentrations to make the cell spontaneous. B) The electrical resistance of the system is extremely low. C) It introduces a 2nd spontaneous reaction that is reliant on the product of the 1" reaction. D) It applies an electric potential great enough to force the reaction forward.
Molten salts When electricity is applied to a molten binary salt, the cation will be reduced and the anion will be oxidized. The electrolysis of CaBrz (), for example, produces Ca(s) at the cathode (from the reduction of Ca2+) and Br2(1) at the anode (from the oxidation of Br"). If more than one cation is present, only the one with highest reduction potential will be reduced. Similarly, if more than one anion is present, only the one with the highest...
