Man this is exactly the video I was hoping to find on electrolysis.. I liked how you brought up the 'more reactive' topic of metals.. I think that terminology makes sense for displacement reactions/ oxidation of metals but with the cathode interaction, it helps me to think of the electronegativity of the cation in question/ which has a greater 'pull' of electrons.. Man this video was so great man! Thank you so much
I really appreciate your efforts sir... sorry for not being ubiquitous. I just loved the way of your teaching. Understood the whole concept at once. Thanks a lot sir!. 🖤🖤
This question difficult to answer. If you'd like the correct answer you'll have to go to reduction potentials, the underlying mechanism is deep quantum mechanics. Here in Os they just give it to you as fact and you swallow and regurgitate. But to answer your question, i have a pragmatic way to think of this. Take for example 2 cations compete to be discharged, say K+ and Na+. Both are reduced and discharged into K and Na atoms. But because Potassium can displace sodium in reactions, K will again displace other Na+ ions to become K+ while the Na+ becomes Na. What happens is regardless, you'll end up with more Na atoms than K atoms. This is what realizes as "preferentiality" in the macroscale.
This is also why, say dilute aqueous solutions of NaCl liberate O2 at anode, while conc aqueous NaCl liberate Cl2. Its ultimately OH- and Cl- competing, and while there's some electro potential at work, but because there are so many more OH- than Cl- in dilute solutions, OH- wins by simple probability. Conversely conc solutions Cl- wins, and Cl2 is unable to displace OH from H2O directly, which again lends it dissimilar behavior from cations; that concentrations cannot affect cation discharge but can affect anion discharge.
@@willyou2199 Unlike going to deep mechanic we can just comprehend in a way like ease of discharge corresponds to the gain of electron. If ease increases down the series the potential to gain electron increase.. That's why Cu+ having more ease or electrochemitivity than Na+ have more potential to becone Cu than Na or Na becomes ion much more faster than Cu takes to become an ion.
i was troubled when my teacher told that clorine will always dichrge first when in an aqueous solution. is it true i am really confused. can you pls help.❤❤💕💕😥

bro is a lifesaver 🫰🫰🫰
sir can u please upload some videos for ionic equilibrium.
Your explanation is amazing and to the point
Amazing, you are great at explaining🎉.
thank you So much for this explanation sir. Much easier to comprehend than my textbook
You are most welcome
sir you're excellent.
The best explanation I hv ever heard bout electrolysis .Thank you so much sir ,really helpful .
Thanks and welcome
amazed by how good u explained
Thank you so much sir.I really appreciate your effort
Thank you so much it really helped me out in very clear way Thank you so much sirrr❤
Most welcome 😊
That was very helpful thank you very much
thank you your video was very helpful
I really appreciate your efforts sir... sorry for not being ubiquitous. I just loved the way of your teaching. Understood the whole concept at once. Thanks a lot sir!. 🖤🖤
You are most welcome
Best explanation ever!!!
Glad it was helpful!
It's just great🎉🎉
Thank you very much sir ♥️It's very easy to understand chemistry
Good video ,liked
Wonderful explanation!
Glad it was helpful!
why does concentration only affect discharge of anion but not cation?
Thankyou for teaching...I understand more now:)
Great!
why sulfate and nitrate ions are not discharged even at high conc?
Thank you very much.
Hi, its called GCSE chemistry now.
Woww it's useful. Recall back wat i hv learnt in SPM, But i forgot dy ahahahha.
Tqvm for this video
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks so much, I understand way better now👍🏾
Great!
Very good
It was very helpful thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you ever so much, much love👍👍
You are so welcome
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Hope you are still posting cause this helps
Thank you very much for all of the lecture
You are welcome
Luvd it
thank you so much! this was so helpful
You're so welcome!
How does this apply for chlor-alkali process??
Can you please explain why metals lower down in the reactivity series( electrochemical series) are preferentially discharged in electrolysis

OMG same LOL
Are u clear now?
From India
💜
danko🌍
Thnx
😍❤👍
👏👏
Nice mernn
Can u pls say that zebra one by typing.. Pls
Pls stop calling me a zebra instead tell Laura how couple strengthens gold.
Please Stop Calling Me A Zebra Instead Tell Laura How Copper Strengthens Gold
😍😍😍😍😍
your speedy
please work on your pronounsation
thanks sir it helped a lot
Glad to hear that
bro u made me think there was a fly on my computer
