Solution:
Given, EoM+/M=−1.2V Eox2/x−=−1.1V EoO2/H2O=1.23V
On electrolysis of aqueous solution of salt MX.
The products obtained depends on the given Eo values i.e. cathodic reaction will be one with higher Eo red value. Anodic reaction will be one with higher Eooxi value or lower Eored value.
Hence, the products are H2 and X2.
