$\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$ Cu²⁺,Mg²⁺,Cl^-,Br^-,F^-

Question

Predict the species that will be oxidized first if a mixture of molten salts containing the following ions undergoes electrolysis: $\quad$$\quad$$\quad$Cu²⁺,Mg²⁺,Cl^-,Br^-,F^-

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bromide ions (Br^-) have a lower oxidation potential compared to chloride and fluoride ions, making them more likely to be oxidized first during electrolysis.
