sea water electrolysis
« on: June 04, 2010, 08:50:40 AM »
what is the electrolysis of sea water @ 100 0C?
is the process affected by the temperature ?
also is it affected by the electrode type?

It is unclear what you mean by "what is the electrolysis of sea water @ 100 C."

The electromotive force is affected by temperature, this is the theory behind high-temperature electrolysis.

Pt is the best electrode to use in these purposes, you will lose efficiency due to overpotential with other materials.

i mean will it also gine Cl2 and H2 at the electrodes or there will be difference ?
also if precipitaion of calcium and magnesium ions occure will  this affect the resultants also ?

thanks for reply  :)
