State the electrode reaction at the anode during electrolysis of:(a) very dilute sulphuric acid,(b) Aqueous copper sulphate solution(c) sodium chloride solution,(d) Fused lead bromide,(e) magnesium chloride (molten).

Answer»

(a) Reaction at anode during the electrolysis of very dilute sulphuric acid:

OH- ⟶ OH + e-

4OH ⟶ 2H2O + O2

(b) Reaction at anode during the electrolysis of aqueous copper sulphate solution

4OH- ⟶ 4OH + 4e-

4OH ⟶ 2H2O +O2

(c) Reaction at anode during the electrolysis of sodium chloride solution

2Cl- ⟶ Cl2 + 2e-

(d) Reaction at anode during the electrolysis of fused lead bromide

Br- - e- ⟶ Br

Br + Br ⟶ Br2

(e) Reaction at anode during the electrolysis of magnesium chloride (molten)

2Cl- ⟶ Cl2 + 2e-
