The student electrolyses a solution of potassium chloride. Figure 1 shows the apparatus she uses. When the current is switched on, bubbles of hydrogen gas are given off at the negative electrode. Explain why hydrogen is produced and not potassium

The modern periodic table has groups.

Consider the reduction reactions and their equilibrium constants. cu+(aq)+e−↽−−⇀cu(s)pb2+(aq)+2e−↽−−⇀ pb(s)fe3+(aq)+3e−↽−−⇀fe(=6.2×108=4. 0×10−5=9.3×10−3 cu + ( aq ) + e − ↽ − − ⇀ cu ( s ) k =6.2× 10 8 pb 2 + ( aq ) +2 e − ↽ − − ⇀ pb ( s ) k =4.0× 10 − 5 fe 3 + ( aq ) +3 e − ↽ − − ⇀ fe ( s ) k =9.3× 10 − 3 arrange these ions from strongest to weakest oxidizing agent.
