In the electrolysis of a molten mixture of RbF and CaCl₂, identify the product that forms at the negative electrode and at the positive electrode.

Respuesta :

F₂, Cl₂ formed at anode and Rb, Ca is formed at cathode.

What is Oxidation Half reaction ?

The half reaction of overall reaction in which reactant loses electrons during the reaction is called Oxidation Half Reaction.

What is reduction Half reaction ?

The half reaction of overall reaction in which reactants gains its electrons during the reaction is called Reduction half reaction.

RbF dissociates as

RbF → Rb⁺ + F⁻

CaCl₂ dissociates as

CaCl₂ → Ca⁺² + 2Cl⁻

At Cathode:

Rb⁺ + e⁻ →  Rb

Ca⁺² + 2e⁻ → Ca

At Anode:

2F⁻ → F₂ + 2e⁻

2Cl⁻ → Cl₂ + 2e⁻

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that F₂, Cl₂ formed at anode and Rb, Ca is formed at cathode.
