Electrolysis of salt 3 • Na+ ions move to the cathode but do not accept electrons. • It is the hydrogen ions (from water) that gain electrons. • As a result hydrogen gas is formed at the cathode.
Na+ Cl- H H H O O- RED CAT Cathode • H2O is more easily reduced than Na+ • H2O(l) + e- ½ H2(g) + OH-(aq) • This means that H2(g) and OH- is formed at the negative cathode. • Na+is left behind. H+
Electrolysis of salt 1 At the ANODE. • Why do you think that even though the reduction potentials predict that oxygen will be formed, we get chlorine? • Standard Reduction Potentials (1M) Chlorine gas is formed 2Cl- - + 2e- Cl2
Electrolysis of salt 1 AN OX Anode • Chloride and water have similar reduction potentials. • But the NaCl is 2M concentration and in this condition it has a lower potential than water and is more easily oxidised. • 2Cl- Cl2 + 2e- Chlorine gas is formed 2Cl- - + 2e- Cl2
No change “Spectator ion” Na+ Cl- Changed into chlorine gas at anode H Changed into hydrogen gas at cathode O- No change “Spectator ion” Electrolysis of salt 4 • What happens to the various ions? H+
Na+ Cl Cl Na+ Cl- H H H H O- O- H+ Solution Electrodes Electrolysis of salt 5 • Sodium hydroxide is what is left in the solution at the end of electrolysis
What happens if we dilute the concentration of NaCl? RED CAT Cathode • H2O is more easily reduced than Na+ • H2O + e- ½ H2 + OH- • This means that H2(g) and OH- is formed at the negative cathode. • Na+is left behind.
What happens if we dilute the concentration of NaCl to 1.00 M? AN OX Anode Under Standard conditions H2O is more easily oxidised than Cl-. H2O + 2H+ + ½ O2 + 2e- • This means that H+ and O2 is formed at the negative cathode.
What do you predict would happen if we could perform electrolysis on molten NaCl?
Molten NaCl.Contains only Na+ and Cl-ions.Anode (Oxidation)2Cl-(l) Cl2(g) + 2e-Cathode (Reduction)Na+(l)+ e- Na(l)
