You are given some ferrous iodide, fei2 , and are asked to extract the iron through electrolysis. what can be said about the merits of molten versus aqueous fei2 ?

Respuesta :

It is impossible to extract or derive iron metal from the electrolysis of the aqueous solution provided. The option left is to carry out the electrolysis on the molten salt.

What is Electrolysis?

Electrolysis refers to the process of causing a chemical decomposition in a liquid or solution that contains ions by sending electric currents via such a solution.

Electrolysis is used primarily for:

  • Extraction (also known as electrowinning); or
  • Purification (also known as electrorefining) of metals from their ore state.
