maintain electrical neutrality
increase the oxidation/reduction rate
In the electrolytic cell, flow of electrons is fron:
Cathode to anode in solution
Cathode to anode through external supply
Cathode to anode through solution
Anode to cathode through external supply
An electric current is passed through an aqueous solution of lithium bromide.
What are produced at the cathode and anode respectively?
- At cathode : H2(g)
At anode : O2(g) - At cathode : Li(s)
At anode : Br2(l) - At cathode : Br2(l)
At anode : Li(s) - At cathode : O2(g)
At anode : H2(g)
What is the number of moles of KMnO4 that will be needed to react with one mole of sulphite ion in acidic solution?
Give a reason for the following
Electrolysis of molten lead bromide is considered to be a reaction in which oxidation and rection go side by side, that is a redox reaction.
- Will flow from battery to the galvanic cell
Will not pass through the circuit- Can flow in any direction
- Will flow from galvanic cell to the battery
Fe(s)+CuSO4(aq)→FeSO4(aq)+Cu(s)
The correct cell representation is:
- Cu2+(aq)|Cu(s)||Fe(s)|Fe2+(aq)
- Cu2+(aq)|Cu(s)||Fe2+(aq)|Fe(s)
- Fe(s)|Fe2+(aq)||Cu2+(aq)|Cu(s)
- Cu(s)|Cu2+(aq)||Fe(s)|Fe2+(aq)
Calculate the EMF of the cell.
Given:
E0Ag+/Ag=0.80 V
E0Cu2+/Cu=0.34 V
- Ecell= 0.301 V
- Ecell= 0.383 V
- Ecell= 0.45 V
- Ecell= 1.04 V

We know that an electrolytic cell has three main components, an electrolyte and two electrodes (an anode and a cathode) and the electrolyte can come in two forms, either as molten or in an aqueous solution. Which of the following statements accurately describes an electrolytic cell?
- Alkali or alkaline earth metals, which are the cations of the electrolyte, do not get oxidized in an aqueous solution since water is more easily oxidized.
- Polyatomic ions, which are the anions of the electrolyte, are typically more easily oxidized than water.
- In both molten or aqueous forms, the cation will be reduced and the anion will be oxidized.
- For aqueous solutions of the electrolyte, a gas may be produced at the anode.
