Magnesium (Mg) metal is the substance produced at the cathode.
As molten calcium bromide is electrolyzed, calcium (Ca) metal is the substance produced at the cathode.
Due to the fact that oxidation always takes place at the anode and reduction always occurs at the cathode,
Consider the two cations that were produced in the two ionisation processes of the two substances: mathrm Ca +2 and mathrm Mg +2. The following is how to express two cations' potential cathode reactions:
[tex]ca { }^{ + 2} + (aq) + 2e {}^{ - } - > \\ ca(s)E {}^{0} _{ca {}^{ + 2} \div ca } = - 2.87v[/tex]
[tex] Mg{ }^{ + 2} + (aq) + 2e {}^{ - } - > \\Mg(s)E {}^{0} _{Mg {}^{ + 2} \div Mg} = - 2.37v[/tex]
[tex] Mg^{ + 2} [/tex]
will be reduced quickly since it has a low electronegative electrode potential.
Thus, magnesium (Mg) metal is the substance produced at the cathode.
