Chemistry

Fynjy0 [20]3 years ago

It is not correct to say " a molecule of salt " because salt is a compound.

Explanation:

  • As we know a molecular bond is present in each molecule.
  • Salt (NaCl) is considered as a compound because it is made up of two types of elements that are sodium as well as chlorine.
  • On the other hand it is not considered as a molecule as it is not holding an ionic bond.
  • As a result we can name it as an ionic compound. Hence it is not considered as a molecule of salt.

What are the products obtained in the electrolysis of molten nai?
yanalaym [24]
Answer is: sodium (Na) and iodine (I₂).

<span> First ionic bonds in this salt are separeted because of heat: 
</span>NaI(l) → Na⁺(l) + I⁻(l).

Reaction of reduction at cathode(-): Na⁺(l) + e⁻ → Na(l) /×2.

2Na⁺(l) + 2e⁻ → 2Na(l).

Reaction of oxidation at anode(+): 2I⁻(l) → I₂(l) + 2e⁻.

The anode is positive and the cathode is negative.
