Reaction
• Anode
• Chloride and hydroxide ions migrate toward the anode.
• Chloride ions are discharged as the concentration of chloride ions is
higher.
• 2 chloride ions lose 2 electrons to form chlorine gas.
Electrolysis of Concentrated NaCl Solution
• Cathode
• Sodium and hydrogen ion travel towards the cathode.
• Hydrogen ion is discharged as sodium is too high up in the reactivity
series.
• 2 hydrogen ions gain 2 electrons to form hydrogen gas.
Exam Style Questions
Scenario
Answer:
• This process is a reduction. Copper ion is gaining electrons.
The concentration of copper ions in the electrolyte remains constant throughout step
1. Why?
Answer:
• The formation of copper ions at the anode happens at the same rate as the removal of copper ions at the
cathode.
