uff ..m sorry

Question 2, variant 1 .. the electrolysis table .. how do we know all thiss ??

There are a few things u need to know about electrolysis first....whenever its molten then the metal forms at the cathode and the other at the anode
But when there is aqueous solution, then there are H+ and OH- ions to consider as well....and there are like 2 exceptions u need to remember...
Whenever there is a chloride solution, then if its dilute then OH- goes out instead of Cl- and at cathode H+ ions go out so after a while the solution will become more concentrated as H+ and OH- are leaving....therefore when its concentrated, Cl- goes out and H+ goes out this leaves us with Metal hydroxide.....

Hope this helps :)

so when molten, metal metal
when concen. metal hydroxide
when aqu, oxygen n hydrogen, ryt??

when molten+metal non metal
whn conc. = metal and non-metal
whn dilute=metal and hydroxide
and in aqu state the metal at cathode cud be either hydrogen or the other metal in the reaction depending on the reactivity series and the one below in the reactivity series always goes to cathode!!
hope u understood it :)

arent aqueous n dilute the same?

Can i get a good definition of equilibrium ? :rolleyes:

Physics : an object is in equilibrium when 1. Total forces in one direction = total forces on the opposite direction
or 2. Total Clock Wise moment = Total Anti Clock Wise moment

chemistry : (Reversible reactions in equilibrium) Rate of Forward reaction = Rate of backward reaction

hope this helps :)
