Question
Chapter 20, Problem 79A
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The composition of cell before the reaction is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The oxidation of any ion at the anode or its reduction at the cathode depends on the reduction potential of the ion.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 79A
Before the
Explanation of Solution
When a solution of potassium bromide is electrolyzed, the electrolyte contains four different ions of H+, OH-, K+ and Br-. Out of K+ and H+ the hydrogen ion gets reduced due to its higher reduction potential forming hydrogen gas at the cathode. Out of OH- and Br- the bromine ion gets oxidized due to its lower reduction potential forming bromine gas at the anode. So after the electrolysis only K+ and OH- ions remain forming a concentrated solution of KOH.
Conclusion
The composition of cell before the electrolysis was found using thefinal products to be an aqueous solution of KBr.
