Part C What is produced at each electrode in the electrolysis of an aqueous solution of both NaBr and AgF?
Drag the appropriate items to their respective bins.
Anode Cathode not produced
Na(s) H2(g) Ag(s) F2(g) O2(g) Br2(l)
reduction potential of Ag+/Ag = 0.80V
the oxidation potential of Br-/Br2 = -1.066V
reduction potential of Na+/Na = 2.71V
reduction potential of 2H+/H2 = 0.00V
oxidation potential of 2F-/F2 = -2.87V
oxidation potential of 2H2O-----> O2 + 4H+ + 4e= -1.23V
at cathode reduction will occur so here Ag(s) will form becaue its reduction potential is high
and at anode oxidation will occur and , here the substance with high oxidation potential can oxidise easily so bromine will form.
