What are the products obtainded at the platinum anode and the platinum cathode respectively in the electrolystis of fused or molten NaCl ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In the electrolysis of fused (or) molter NaCl with platinum anode and platinum chthode, sodium metal obtained at cathode and chlorine gas at anode
` 2 NaCl to 2 Na^(+)+2Cl ^(-)`
`2 Cl ^(-) to Cl _(2) + 2e^(-)` (anode)
`2 Na^(+) + 2e^(-) to 2 Na` (cathode)

Electrolysis is the process in which electrical energy is converted to chemical energy. In electrolyte cell, oxidation takes place at anode and reduction at cathode. Electrode process depends on the electrode taken for electrolysis. Amount of substance liberated at an electrode is directly proportionation to the amount of charge passed through it. The mass of substance liberated at electrode is calculate using the following realation : m=(itE)/(96500) Here, E represent the equivalent mass and 96500 C is called the faraday constant. Faraday (96500 C) is the charge of 1 mole electron i.e., 6.023 xx 10^(23) electrons, it is used to liberate on gram equivalent of the substance. The platinum electrodes were immersed in a solution of cupric sulphate (CuSO_4) and electric current is passed through the solution. After sometimes, it was observed that the colour of copper sulphate disappeared with evolution of a gas at the electrode. The colourless solution contains.
