Electrolysis Flashcards
1
Q
Acidified water
A
Cathode: 2H+ + 2e- = H2
Anode: H2O = 2H+ + 1/2O2 + 2e-
2
Q
Sodium Sulfate
A
Anode: 2H2O= O2 + 4H+ + 4e-
Cathode: 2H2O + 2e- = H2 + 2OH-
3
Q
Potassium iodide
A
Anode: 2I- = I2 + 2e-
Cathode: 2H2O + 2e- = H2 + 2OH-
4
Q
Copper sulfate
A
Cathode: Cu2+ + 2e- = Cu>
Anode: Cu = Cu2+ + 2e-
