Question:

iron - electrolysis question?

Alright I'm doing a project on electrolysis and as much as I try i just don't understand it.My anode cathode are both IronMy solution is Fe(No3)2 which is Iron (II) NitrateI need to talk about what happens and why the mass of the anode decreases but the mass of the cathode increases.I've got some crazy theory but i don't know if its correct or not so if anyone could clarfiy that would be great.Thankyou so much! :)

Answer:

refine it if I remember correctly its been a LONG time since ive played there should be a smelting guide somewhere on the game that tells you how to do it.
you can't. there is a 50% chance of getting an iron bar. Unless you are a member, you can't always get iron bars from iron ores.
Anode: Oxidation Iron becomes Iron(II) it dissolves in water, so the Anode loses mass. Cathode: Reduction Iron(II) becomes Iron and accumulates itself at the Cathode which gains mass. Oxidation means to dispense electrons, this electrons are transported through a wire to the Cathode. At the Cathode electrons are given to Iron(II) that were dissolved in water. If it is is still unclear i can try to explain it better
It's random like that You have to keep trying your luck at it
