Electrolysis of aqueous solution

• At the cathode :

  • Positive ions attract to the cathode
  • Least reactive element formed at anode
  • If silver/copper is in compound, they will be produced
  • If not, hydrogen will be produced
• At the anode :

  • Negative ions attract to the anode
  • If there is a halogen, this will be produced
  • If not, oxygen will be made
