AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the Debye-Hückel Rule and the effect of relaxation in the presence of an electric field. The initial query seeks clarification on how relaxation occurs under these conditions, suggesting a misunderstanding of the relationship between electric fields and molecular behavior. Participants clarify that relaxation refers to the reshaping of the ionic cloud surrounding a central ion when an electric field is applied. It is emphasized that while the electric field can shift the equilibrium positions of ions, it does not halt the relaxation process. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding ionic interactions and the dynamics of electrolyte behavior in electric fields.

Dear Fellows,
In Debye Huckle Rule, how does Relaxation effect occurs in the presence of electric field.Logically it is not possible in the presence of electric field.Please help me out.

Thanks
Faisal

Plz Plz Plz Reply this question i m an urgent need for this explanation.PLZZZ help out..
 
I fear I don't quite understand your question. Relaxation of what?
Maybe you can extend the description of what exactly you are interested in?

Btw, the second guy is called "Hückel", not Huckle.
 
Sorry for Huckel:-) relaxation effect of the molecules in the electrolyte when the electric field is applied..??
 
OK, you mean reshaping of the ionic cloud after the "central" ion moved.

Why would the electric field stop the process? It can shift the equilibrium positions of ions, but it won't stop the relaxation.

Thread 'How to make Sodium Chlorate by Electrolysis of salt water?'

I have a power supply for electrolysis of salt water brine, variable 3v to 6v up to 30 amps. Cathode is stainless steel, anode is carbon rods. Carbon rod surface area 42" sq. the Stainless steel cathode should be 21" sq. Salt is pure 100% salt dissolved into distilled water. I have been making saturated salt wrong. Today I learn saturated salt is, dissolve pure salt into 150°f water cool to 100°f pour into the 2 gallon brine tank. I find conflicting information about brine tank...
