Which of the following equations represents the decomposition of a chemical compound via an electrolytic reaction?

Question 6
6.

An anion is a negative ion, as it contains more electrons than protons.

Question 7
7.
Cell _______ is a measure of the amount of electricity that a chemical battery or cell can produce (measured in voltage)
Question 8
8.
In an electrolytic cell, electric energy is used to cause a __________ chemical reaction. In a voltaic cell, a __________ chemical reaction is used to convert chemical energy into electrical energy.
Question 9
9.
_______ is the process of using electricity to cause a chemical reaction that would not occur spontaneously
Question 10
10.
An ion is a charged atom or group of atoms formed by the addition or removal of one or more electrons. For example, when a sodium atom donates an electron, its net charge becomes __________, and it forms a sodium ion. Similarly, when a chlorine atom gains an electron, its net charge becomes __________, and it forms chloride ion.
Question 11
11.
Two half-cells connected using a salt bridge make a voltaic cell. Oxidation takes place in one half-cell and reduction in the other. This oxidation-reduction reaction triggers the flow of _______ and generates an electric current.
