What happens when ionic hydrides of s-block elements in molten state are electrolysed?
- A Hydride ion migrates at cathode
- B Dihydrogen is liberated at cathode
- C Hydride ion reforms metal hydride
- D Dihydrogen is liberated at anode
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Dihydrogen is liberated at anode
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
When an ionic hydride of s-block elements is electrolyzed in its molten state, metal cation is reduced to metal and hydride ion is oxidized to dihydrogen.
