Interpretation:
The voltage required to electrolyze sodium sulfate with given current and current density has to be determined. And also the voltage when gold electrodes replaces platinum electrodes has to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
When the
E(cathode) is electrode’s potential which is attached to negative terminal of current source.
E(anode) is electrode’s potential which is attached to positive terminal of current source.
Overpotential: The activation energy of a reaction at an electrode can be overcome by voltage. The required voltage to apply is called overpotential.
Ohmic potential: In
Concentration Polarization: It is the change in concentration of products and reactants at electrode’s surface unlike they are same in solution.

Answer to Problem 17.AE
The voltage required to electrolyze sodium sulfate with given current and current density is
The voltage when gold electrodes replaces platinum electrodes is
Explanation of Solution
To determine: The voltage required to electrolyze sodium sulfate with given current and current density.
At cathode:
At anode:
For gold electrodes, the voltage is,
The voltage required to electrolyze sodium sulfate with given current and current density was determined. And also the voltage when gold electrodes replaces platinum electrodes was calculated.
