Question

The cell shown in the image below is used to commercially produce Sr via electrolysis from a molten salt (the electrolyte), such as SrCl₂. Remember that in an electrolytic cell, which is the opposite to what we see in batteries, the anode is given the "-" sign and the cathode is given the "+" sign. What is the half-reaction at the anode of the electrolytic cell?

Accepted Answer

2 $$Cl^{–}(aq$$) → Cl_{2}(g) + $$2e^{–}$$

Answer

$$Sr^{2+}(aq$$) + $$2e^{–}$$ → Sr(l)

Answer

Cl_{2}(g) + $$2e^{–}$$ → 2 $$Cl^{–}(aq)$$

Answer

Sr(l) → $$Sr^{2+}(aq$$) + $$2e^{–}$$
