Answer:
oxidation takes place at the anode while reduction takes place at the cathode.
Explanation:
In the process of electrolysis the electric current is passed accross an ionic compound, the compound could either be in it's molten state or dissolved in a solvent. When there is connection between the anode and cathode are by a wire, there is always a flow of electrons from anode to cathode.
A redox reaction reffers to a chemical reaction in which there are both process of oxidation and the process of reduction i.e loss of election and gain of electrons occured simultaneously.
During the process of electrolysis, there is oxidation of an ion at anode which is the negative charged electrode, reduction as well takes occur at cathode which is the positively charged electrode at the same time.
Common salt besides being used in kitchen can also be used as the raw material for making washing soda and baking soda.
The overall balanced reaction for washing soda preparation:
2NaCl + CaCO3 → Na2CO3 + CaCl2
NaCl is sodium chloride or common salt
Na2CO3 is sodium carbonate or washing soda
CaCO3 is calcium carbonate or limestone
The overall balanced reaction for baking soda preparation:
NaCl + CO2 + NH3 + H2O → NaHCO3 + NH4Cl
Baking soda (NaHCO₃ - sodium bicarbonate) is white, solid, crystalline salt or appears as a fine powder.
NH3 is ammonia
CO2 is carbon (II) oxide
