    When a molten ionic hydride is electrolysed :

    A)  hydrogen is liberated at cathode

    B)  hydrogen is liberated at anode

    C)  there is no reaction

    D)  \[{{H}^{-}}\]ions produced, migrate to the cathode

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    In this process, hydrogen liberates at anode, e.g., \[Mg{{H}_{2}}\xrightarrow{electrolysis}M{{g}^{2+}}+2{{H}^{-}}\] At anode:            \[2{{H}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{H}_{2}}\uparrow +\,2{{e}^{-}}\] At cathode: \[M{{g}^{2+}}+2{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}Mg\]
