ملخص الدرس

This lesson establishes the principles of electrolytic cells, contrasting them with galvanic cells. It examines the electrolysis of molten \text{\text{NaCl}} in Downs cells (producing metallic Na and Cl₂ gas) and the industrial Chlor-Alkali electrolysis of aqueous brine. It explains selective discharge, standard electrode potentials, and kinetic overpotential dictating the production of H₂, Cl₂, and \text{\text{NaOH}} solution.

• Electrolytic cells use external DC electricity to drive non-spontaneous redox reactions.
• Polarities: Anode is positive (+) where oxidation occurs; Cathode is negative (−) where reduction occurs.
• Molten \text{\text{NaCl}} electrolysis yields sodium metal at the cathode and chlorine gas at the anode.
• Aqueous \text{\text{NaCl}} electrolysis yields H₂ gas at the cathode and Cl₂ gas at the anode due to overpotential.
• The chlor-alkali process co-produces \text{\text{NaOH}}, H₂, and Cl₂.
