Redox Reactions And Electrochemistry Ques 13
Question: When electric current is passed through a cell having an electrolyte, the positive ions move towards the cathode and the negative ions towards the anode. If the cathode is pulled out of the solution [AIIMS 1980]
Options:
A) The positive and negative ions will move towards the anode
B) The positive ions will start moving towards the anode, the negative ions will stop moving
C) The negative ions will continue to move towards the anode and the positive ions will stop moving
D) The positive and negative ions will start moving randomly
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
In the absence of electric field the ions in the solution move randomly due to thermal energy.
