What product(s) forms at the cathode in the electrolysis of an aqueous solution of k2so4?

1 answer:

8 0

Catod(-)
K⁺
2H20 +2e⁻ ---> H2 +2OH⁻

We can also say, that
K⁺ +OH⁻ +H2 = KOH +H2
At the cathode KOH and H2 are formed.

Answer:

$H^+(aq)+(ClO)^-(aq)\rightarrow HClO{(aq)}$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since perchloric acid is HClO4 and is a strong acid and calcium hypochlorite is Ca(ClO)2, the undergoing molecular chemical reaction turns out:

$2HClO_4{(aq)}+Ca(ClO)_2{(aq)}\rightarrow 2HClO{(aq)}+Ca(ClO_4)_2{(aq)}$

Thus, since the resulting hypochlorous acid is weak, it does not fully ionize, so it remains unionized, however, we can write the ions for the other species:

$2H^++2(ClO_4)^-+Ca^{2+}+2(ClO)^-\rightarrow 2HClO{(aq)}+Ca^{2+}+2(ClO_4)^-$

Now, we can cancel out the spectator ions, calcium and perchlorate, to obtain:

$2H^+(aq)+2(ClO)^-(aq)\rightarrow 2HClO{(aq)}\\\\H^+(aq)+(ClO)^-(aq)\rightarrow HClO{(aq)}$

Best regards!

Leona [35]

First, we construct the reaction equation:

Na₂SO₃ + 2HCl → 2NaCl + SO₂ + H₂O

H₂SO₃ is formed as an intermediate but decomposes to water and SO₂ gas.
