If i use HCl as the electrolyte in the electrolysis of H20


Recommended Posts

didn't I have a forum about this sort of thing...

 

Oh well, be that as it may, I would recomend using NaOH as the salt in the solution for electrolysis. It appears to be very stable, and good for this sort of thing with the right materials.

 

at least that's what they tell me here on the forum.

hes probly thinking it aint a salt because it isnt produced by acting an acid on a base. But however it is produced by reacting Na with water, which makes it a salt by kind of like what i just said.

Look at NaCl. That's a classic salt which can be formed from the direct action of chlorine gas on sodium metal. No acid or base is involved. A salt does NOT have to be formed from the reaction between an acid and a base.
