Chapter 17, Problem 16RQ

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Anode reaction for ${\text{NiCl}}_{\text{2}}$ solution has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Electrolysis is phenomenon to convert electrical energy to chemical energy. Electrolytic cells convert electric energy into chemical energy. In these cells, non-spontaneous reactions occur so energy is supplied for their occurrence. Such cells have positively charged anode and positively charged cathode.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Cathode reaction for ${\text{NiCl}}_{\text{2}}$ solution has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Net electrochemical reaction for ${\text{NiCl}}_{\text{2}}$ solution has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).
