What is the purpose of the inert electrode? a. to create a solution of anions b. to create a solution of cations c. to conduct electrons d. to conduct protons

Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An inert electrode is defined as an electrode that releases electrons or which serves as a sink for electrons. An inert electrode does not participate chemically in the electrode reaction.

For example, in a voltaic cell anode is negatively charged and cathode is positively charged. So, electrons release from the anode and they get deposited on the cathode.

This leads to generation of electric current.

Therefore, we can conclude that the purpose of the inert electrode is to conduct electrons.

> b takes place in the gas phase in an isothermal tubular reactor. the feed is one mole of a per one mole of c, an inert. the entering temperature and pressure are 427°c and 10 atm, respectively. the gas constant r = 0.08206 atm · l/mol · k.
