9 Questions
What does selective discharge of ions depend on?
Relative position of ions in the electrochemical series, relative concentration of ions, and nature of the electrodes
In what scenario does selective discharge of ions occur?
When two or more ions of the same charge are present in a solution of an electrolyte under identical conditions and are competing for discharge at the same electrode
What factor determines which ion gets preferentially discharged during selective discharge?
Relative position of ions in the electrochemical series
What determines which ion gets preferentially discharged during selective discharge of ions?
Relative position of ions in the electrochemical series
In a solution of an electrolyte, what can cause selective discharge of ions?
Relative concentration of ions
What plays a role in the selective discharge of ions at the same electrode?
Nature of the electrodes
What is selective discharge of ions dependent on?
Relative position of ions in the electrochemical series, relative concentration of ions, and nature of the electrodes
What does selective discharge of ions refer to?
Preferential discharge of one ion when multiple ions of the same charge are competing for discharge at the same electrode
What role does the nature of the electrodes play in selective discharge of ions?
It influences which ion gets preferentially discharged
Test your knowledge of selective discharge of ions in electrolyte solutions with this quiz. Explore how the relative positions of ions in the electrochemical series, their concentrations, and the nature of electrodes affect their preferential discharge at the same electrode.
