Get started for free(a) At what cathode potential will Sb(s)deposition commence from solution at pH 0.00? Express this potential versus S.H.E. and versus. (Disregard overpotential, about which you have no information.)
(b) What percentage ofcould be reduced electrolytically to Cu(s)beforein the same solution begins to be reduced at pH 0.00?
A dilute solution is to be electrolyzed with a pair of smooth Pt electrodes at a current density of and a current of 0.100A. The products areandatbar. Calculate the required voltage if the cell resistance isand there is no concentration polarization. What voltage would be required if the Pt electrodes were replaced by Au electrodes?
Explain what is done in anodic stripping voltammetry. Why is stripping the most sensitive voltammetric technique?
The chlor-alkali process 54in which seawater is electrolyzed to make CI2 andNaOH, is the second most important commercial electrolysis, behindAIproduction.
Anode:
HgCathode:
The Nafion membrane (page 421) used to separate the anode and cathode compartments resists chemical attack. Its anionic side chains permit conduction ofNa+ , but not anions. The cathode compartment contains pure water, and the anode compartment contains seawater from which Ca2+ and Mg2+ have been removed. Explain how the membrane allows NaOH to be formed free ofNaCI.
