(d)

Electrolytic cell I is used to carry out the elsctrolysis of the following solutions:
1.0 mol dm-3 sodium hydroxide
1.0 mol dm-3 potassium iodide
1.0 mol dm-3 nitric acid
Classify the solutions by completing Table 1.2
Solution that produces gas at the anode
Solution that does not produce gas at the
when electrolysed
anode when electrolysed
