Question
When electricity is transmitted through a carbon electrode electrolytic cell,___________ is produced at anode.
CO2
H2
O2
H2O
Hint:
If no halide ions are there then oxygen is produced
The correct answer is: O2
Oxygen is produced (from hydroxide ions), unless halide ions (chloride, bromide or iodide ions) are present. In that case, the negatively charged halide ions lose electrons and form the corresponding halogen (chlorine, bromine or iodine).
