Question: A student constructs an electrolysis cell with two inert electrodes in an aqueous solution that is 1.0 Min rubidium nitrite, RbNO2 , and 1.0 Min
A student constructs an electrolysis cell with two inert electrodes in an aqueous solution that is 1.0 Min rubidium nitrite, RbNO2 , and 1.0 Min rubidium hydroxide, RbOH. As the cell operates, an odorless gas evolves from one electrode and a gas with a distinctive odor evolves from the other electrode. Choose the correct statement from the following list. (A) The odorless gas is oxygen. (B) The odorless gas is the result of reduction. (C) The gas with the distinctive odor is the result of oxidation. (D) The odorless gas evolves at the negative electrode.
