Write the electrode reaction for electrolysis of molten magnesium chloride and calcium chloride

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

i.Electrolysis of molten magnesium chloride, `MgCl_2`
Cathode reaction: `Mg^(2+) + 2e^(-) to Mg` (Reduction)
Anode reaction: `2CI^(-) to Cl_2 + 2e^(-)` (Oxidation)
ii. Electrolysis of molten calcium chloride, `CaCl_2` :
Cathode reaction: `Ca^(2+) + 2e^(-) to Ca` (Reduction)
Anode reaction : `2Cl^(-) to Cl_2 + 2e^(-)` (Oxidation )
