An electrolysis cell is used to produce sodium from molten sodium chloride. How many kilograms of sodium are produced each hour if the cell operates with a supplied current of 1000 Amperes? (Faraday’s Constant, F = 96,500 C mol-1)
Metallic sodium can be made by the electrolysis of molten NaCl. (a) What mass of Na is formed by passing a current of 9.02 A through molten NaCl for 1.60 days? The unbalanced chemical reaction representing this electrolysis is shown below. NaCl Na + Cl2 g of Na is formed by this electrolysis. (b) How many minutes are needed to plate out 6.00 g of Na from molten NaCl using 9.49 A current? minutes are needed.
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...
a) What is electrolysis? (b) Are electrolysis reactions thermo- dynamically spontaneous? Explain. (c) What process occurs at the anode in the electrolysis of molten NaCl? (d) Why is sodium metal not obtained when an aqueous solution of NaCl undergoes electrolysis?
Indicate whether each of the following substances is: oxidized but not reduced, reduced but not oxidized, both oxidized and reduced or neither oxidized nor reduced in the common metabolic pathway. (a) Malate reduced but not oxidized, neither oxidized nor reduced, both oxidized and reduced, oxidized but not reduced (b) NAD+ reduced but not oxidized neither oxidized nor reduced both oxidized and reduced oxidized but not reduced (c) FeSP reduced but not oxidized neither oxidized nor reduced both oxidized and reduced...
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...
