Anodic Reaction |
|
|
|
H2O2
 O2 + 2 H+ +
2
e- |
|
| This is the oxidation reaction. |
|
Dissolved Peroxide will be consumed to populate the electrolyte with Oxygen, Hydrogen (acid) molecules/ions.

|
Cathodic Reaction |
|
|
|
|
Cl2(g) +
2 e-
2 Cl- |
|
| This is the reduction reaction. |
|
Dissolved Chlorine will be consumed from the electrolyte, releasing Chlorine molecules/ions back to the electrolyte.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
The driving potential between the two reactions is 0.66 Volts provided the dissolved species Cl2(g) and O2, H+ are at 1 molar concentrations.
