How does overvoltage influence the products in the electrolysis of aqueous salts?

Chemistry

Overvoltage influence the products in the electrolysis of aqueous salts by affecting the solvation effects, polarization of electrode, and also affect the formation of gaseous products.

<h3>What is electrolysis? </h3>

It is defined as a process which leads to the chemical change when an electric current is allow to pass through an electrolyte.

During the electrolysis process,the positively charged electrode gains the electrons and undergoes the reduction process while the negatively charged electrode loses the electrons , undergoes oxidation.

When two half reaction are possible at an electrode, one with the other which is more positive electrode potential occur. For the gases to be produced at electrodes, an additional voltage is required. This is termed as overvoltage.

The overvoltage affects the solvation effects, polarization of electrode, and also affect the formation of gaseous products.

Is the answer B? Help
Masja [62]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Hmm, so we have the following in the diagram

Pt(s)

Cl2(g)

Ag(s)

NaCl(aq)

AgNO3(aq)

Pt 2+, 4+, 6+  Though it states Pt is inert

Cl 2-

Ag 1+

Na 1+

NO3-

Anode definition: the positively charged electrode by which the electrons leave an electrical device.

Electrode definition: a conductor through which electricity enters or leaves an object, substance, or region.

Cations attracted to cathode pick up electrons

Anions attracted to anode release electrodes+

Reduction at Cathode (red cat gain of e)

Oxidation at Anode (ox anode loss of e)

So from the diagram we can see that the charge is being generated through the 2 metal plates.

So the answer is A, the anode material is Pt and the half reaction is 2Cl- = Cl2 + 2e-

What is rate of reaction? Discuss in brief slow and fast reactions.<br>​
Sindrei [870]
The reaction rate or rate of reaction is the speed at which a chemical reaction takes place, defined as proportional to the increase in the concentration of a product per unit time and to the decrease in the concentration of a reactant per unit time.

Reactions that happen quickly have a high rate of reaction. For example, the chemical weathering of rocks is a very slow reaction: it has a low rate of reaction. Explosions are very fast reactions: they have a high rate of reaction. Rate of reaction is an example of a compound measure.

A scientist triples the temperature of a gas at constant pressure. By what factor does the gas’s volume change?
laila [671]
Hey there,

A scientist triples the temperature of a gas at constant pressure. By what factor does the gas’s volume change?

I believe that  when the scientist triples the temperature of the gas at a certain and constant pressure, the factor of the gas volume would change most likely with the double amount of pressure that the scientist put in the first place.
