Molten sodium chloride can be reduced to sodium metal by passing an electric current through the molten salt to split it into its elements. Illustrated below is a simple diagram of the cell. Show the balanced equations for the anode, cathode, and overall cell reactions.
Draw a cell setup for the electrolysis of molten AlBr3 and indicate the direction of the flow of electrons.
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?
Which cell represents an electrolysis cell that electroplates Zn?
