Cards (6)

  • What does the aqueous solution contain?
    hydrogen and hydroxide
  • what electrode does the hydrogen move too?
    Cathode
  • What electrode does the hydroxide move too?
    Anode
  • What does the cathode attract?
    positive ions, metals
  • The cathode will only discharge one of the ions which will be the least reactive one of the two
  • What ion will be discharged at the anode?
    if a halide is present it will be discharged but if it’s not the hydroxide will be
