Which of the statements listed below is true regarding the following redox reaction occurring in a nonspontaneous electrochemical cell? 3 C(s)+ 4 AlCl3(l) 4 Al(l)+ 3 CCl4(g)

Question

Which of the statements listed below is true regarding the following redox reaction occurring in a nonspontaneous electrochemical cell? 3 C(s)+ 4 AlCl3(l)  4 Al(l)+ 3 CCl4(g)

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a nonspontaneous electrochemical cell, the reaction does not occur spontaneously, and external energy must be supplied to drive the reaction. Therefore, the products of the reaction will be produced at the electrodes through electrolysis. In this case, Al3+ ions will be reduced to form Al metal at the cathode, and C atoms will be oxidized to form CCl4 at the anode. Thus, statement D is true, and none of the other statements are correct.
