Chemistry / What happens during electrolysis of salt water with gold and copper electrodes?
« on: 02/03/2019 11:26:22 »HI, I'm new around.
I'm trying to experiment just for fun, I forgot a lot from old chemistry lessons.
My questions is:
I have salty water which I perform electrolysis on using gold anode and copper cathode.
From what I know when all sodium chloride has reduced i have gold chlorid and sodium hydroxide
Are only these two substances created?
Have all gold ions reacted with chlore? No one is migrated to cathode, plating it ?
Have all sodium ions reacted with hydrogen?
magnetic mixing during electrolysis, could be important for the creation of more or less gold chloride and sodium hydroxide?
Sorry for all the questions.
Best regards Paul
