What is a non-electrolyte
It dissolves in water but does not ionize
Examples of non-electrolytes
Sugar/H2O
Urea/H2O
Molten Na, Cl, Ca, Cl2
Oxidation states of
Ionic hydride
Covalent hydride
Ionic hydride = —1
Covalent hydride = +1
Peroxide example
H2O2 (-1)
Superoxide example
NaO2 (-½)
Oxyfluoride
O2F2 (+1)
OF2 (+2)
Oxidizing agents are
Non metals (nOn = Ox)
Metal cations
Reducing agents are
Metals
Nonmetal anions
Electrolysis is
non spontaneous
endothermic
Brine solution is
Super saturated solution of NaCl/H2O
Faraday’s Law of Electrolysis
Amount of product (w) is directly proportional to charge (Q)
so w = zQ
z is a constant which is electrochemical weight
z =
z = Molar mass / n x 96500 C
or
z = M / nF
