Ytu perform an electrolysis reaction using FeCl, iron (1) chloride. Which of the following will happen?
A. Chlorine will move to the positive electrode and become reduced.
B. Iron will move to the positive electrode and become oxidized.
C. Chlorine will move to the negative electrode and become oxidized.
D. Iron will move to the negative electrode and become reduced.

when we react with FeCl, iron, and chloride to both the electrolysis. So, iron is charged positive ion, as well as passes to the negative, is cathode electrode. But there is a decrease in the cathode.

The equation can be defined as follows:

[tex]FeCl_2[/tex] [tex]\longrightarrow[/tex][tex]Fe + Cl_2[/tex]

In the above equation, when the iron chloride electrolysis solution, it will give the iron(II) and the chlorine. This process happens when the hydrogen chloride solution at a temperature of about 90 ° C.

Answer: D

Explanation: As Fe is positive charged while chlorine is negative charged.

(D) is correct. As iron moves to negative and it get reduce as negative electrode is cathode
