Answer:

Cathode: Hydrogen gas

Anode: Chlorine gas

Explanation:

① Write down the ions present in the electrolyte

Cations: Na⁺, H⁺

Anions: Cl⁻ , OH⁻

② Decide which ions are preferentially discharged.

These are the factors:

For the discharge of cations,

- Reactivity series

(The lower the position of the cation in the reactivity series, the easier it is to be discharged)

For the discharge of anions,

- Concentration effect (look at this first)

(The more concentrated the ion, the easier for it to be discharged)

- If solution is not concentrated (dilute), look at the position of the anion on the electrochemical series.

(The lower the position of the anion on the electrochemical series, the easier of it to be discharged)

In this case:

For cations, H⁺ ions are selectively discharged at the cathode as its position is lower than Na⁺ in the reactivity series.

Anion: Cl⁻ ions, being more concentrated, are selectively discharged at the anode.

☆For electrolysis,

Cation at the cathode (-ve terminal)

Anion at the anode (+ve terminal)

In summary, here's what happened at each electrode:

<u>C</u><u>athode</u>

- H⁺ selectively discharged

- ionic half equation: 2H⁺ (aq) +2e⁻ → H₂ (g)

<u>Anode</u>

- Cl⁻ ions selectively discharged

- ionic half equation: 2Cl⁻ (aq) → Cl₂ (g) + 2e⁻

Subjective minerals are minerals that are subjected to so something specific. Objective minerals are minerals that have an object they are made for.
although this is a small difference, in the scientific world with out this you could go totally wrong

NemiM [27]

Answer:

The soda can kept the same mass as it changed in shape only

Explanation:

Law of Conservation states "mass cannot be created or destroyed" therefore this is why the mass hasn't changed, but when it was smashed the shape changed.
