At which electrode (anode or cathode) would such a reaction take place? Is this an example of oxidation or reduction ?
A solution contains magnesium ions (Mg2+) iron (II) ions (Fe2+) and copper ions (Cu2+). On passing an electric current through this solution which ions will be the first to be discharged at the cathode? Write the equation for the cathode reaction.
The following is a sketch of an electrolytic cell used in the extraction of aluminium:
(i) What is the substance of which the electrodes A and B made?
(ii) At which electrode (A and B) is the aluminium formed?
(iii) What are the two aluminium compounds in the electrolyte C?
(iv) Why is it necessary for electrode B to be continuously replaced?
