predict which will be oxidized and which will be reduced for the electrolysis of a molten salt mixture of NiBR2 and Cu(NO3)2.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Ni+2 --> oxidizes, since has lowe E°cell value

Cu+2 --> reduces, since has higher E°cell value

The reaction

Cu+2(aq) + Ni(s) --> Cu(s) + Ni+2(aq)
