Question
When an aqueous, neutral NiCl₂ solution is electrolyzed with 20 dc voltage, Cl₂ gas is the primary product in the anode, while H₂ gas
will be the primary product in the cathode.
Consider that the overpotentials for the production of gases Cl₂, O₂ and H₂ are negligible (~0.0 V).
Eº Cl₂/Cl-: +1.36 V
Eº O₂, H+/H₂O: +1.23 V
E° H*/H₂: 0.00 V
E° Ni+2/Ni: -0.23 V
E° H₂O/H₂, OH-: -0.83 V
Select one:
O True
O False
