If i electrolysed Fenvalerate in an aqueous solution with an applied voltage of 100 Volts, and a concentration of 0.5 Mols, what would happen?
Accepted Answer
Electrolysis of Fenvalerate in an aqueous solution with an applied voltage of 100 Volts and a concentration of 0.5 Mols would result in the following:
1. Oxidation at the anode: Fenvalerate molecules would lose electrons and get oxidized to form Fenvalerate radicals. These radicals can further react with water to form Fenvalerate cations and hydroxyl radicals.
2. Reduction at the cathode: Water molecules would gain electrons and get reduced to form hydrogen gas and hydroxide ions.
The overall reaction can be represented as:
Fenvalerate + 2H2O → Fenvalerate+ + 2H+ + 2e- (at the anode)
2H+ + 2e- → H2 (at the cathode)
The electrolysis process can lead to the degradation of Fenvalerate and the formation of various byproducts, depending on the specific conditions of the electrolysis.
