What is an electrolyte?
Think about what happens when salt is dissolved in water.
Explain what an inert electrode is.
Consider materials that don't change during the reaction.
What is the role of the electrolyte in electrolysis?
Think about the role of ions in carrying charge.
True or False: An inert electrode can participate in the oxidation or reduction reactions.
Consider an example of an electrode that doesn't change.
You are performing electrolysis on a concentrated NaCl solution. Predict the products at the anode and cathode and explain your reasoning, accounting for potential competition from water oxidation and reduction.
Think about how concentration impacts competition between ions.
Explain how electrolysis of dilute copper(II) sulfate differs from concentrated copper(II) sulfate concerning product formation at the electrodes.
