Electrolytic Cell
20. Electrochemistry / Electrolytic Cell / Problem 3
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?
