In electrolysis of molten magnesium chloride MgCT, using graphite electrodes (a) Give the formula of the ions present (b) What is observed at Anode . .. cathode . (c) Name the product at Anode . . cathode .... (a) Write the ionic equation to show changes at Anode: .. — Cathode: {e) Draw a labeled diagram and indicate the direction of electron flow The diagram below shows an apparatus in which the electrolysis of aqueous sodium. sulphate containing Litmus solution was carried out. Direct Current ‘When the current was passed through the solution, the solution around the anode ‘tumed red and the solution around the cathode turned blue. Gas A was found to relight a glowing splint and gas B, when ignited, bumed with “pop” (@) Give the formula of the four ions in aqueous sodium sulphate (@) @ Complete the table below Name of gas | Name of electrode at which gas is produced Gas A Gas B GW Write an equation to show the formation of gas B. (iii) At which electrode has oxidation taken place? a} (© If the experiment is repeated using deionised water without sodium sulphate dissolved in it, no reaction occurs. @ Explain why there is no reaction? (@ Explain why the addition of sodium sulphate to deionised water allows a reaction to take place.
