Question

What happens at the anode?

Accepted Answer

- Oxygen​ ​(from​ ​OH​-​​ ​in​ ​water)​ ​will​ ​be​ ​produced​ ​unless​ ​ionic​ ​compound contains​ ​halide​ ​ions​ ​(Cl​-​,​ ​Br​-​,​ ​I​-​).- If​ ​there​ ​are​ ​halide​ ​ions -​ ​halogen ​produced​ ​instead​ ​(e.g.​ ​Cl​2​)

Back	- Oxygen (from OH- in water) will be produced unless ionic compound contains halide ions (Cl-, Br-, I-). - If there are halide ions - halogen produced instead (e.g. Cl2)
