At the cathode, silver ions are discharged and deposited as solid silver metal. This occurs when electrons are gained, reducing the silver ions to form silver atoms.
Sodium chloride (table salt) can be broken down into its constituent elements sodium and chlorine through a process called electrolysis. When an electric current is passed through molten sodium chloride, the sodium ions (Na+) are attracted to the negative electrode (cathode) and gain electrons to form sodium metal, while the chloride ions (Cl-) are attracted to the positive electrode (anode) and lose electrons to form chlorine gas.
When dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl) is added to calcium chloride (CaCl2), a double displacement reaction occurs. The products of this reaction are calcium chloride and water. Some of the calcium chloride may remain in solution while other parts may precipitate out, depending on the concentrations and quantities of the reactants.
Lead chloride and silver chloride can be separated by adding dilute hydrochloric acid to the mixture, which will dissolve the lead chloride while leaving the silver chloride unaffected. The solution can then be filtered to separate the two compounds. Alternatively, the compounds can be separated by their different solubilities in ammonia solution, where silver chloride dissolves in excess ammonia but lead chloride remains insoluble.
The reaction of potassium hydroxide with dilute hydrochloric acid forms potassium chloride and water. This reaction is a neutralization reaction, which involves the combining of an acid and a base to form water and a salt.
Neutralization reaction occurs between dilute hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide, resulting in the formation of water and a salt (sodium chloride).
