When Pt electrodes are used in the electrolysis of Kl(aq), a number of reactions are possible at the electrodes. Using a standard reduction potentials table predict which reaction is most likely to occur at the anode​


Sagot :

anode is oxidation

so look at the reduction potential for Pt and Kl

the one with the smaller reduction potential will undergo oxidation

the one with the larger reduction potential will undergo reduction

you have to flip the equation that undergoes oxidation because the reduction table always gives reduction equations
