Question

1 why alkali is soapy in nature?
2 can cathode be called electron donor and proton acceptor?

Answer 1

An alkali feels soapy because that's just what they make out of the oils on your skin - soap.

The cathode in electrolysis supplies electrons, and the anode takes them away.

Answer 2

In chemistry, an alkali is a basic, ionic salt of an alkali metal or alkali earth metal element.
Alkaline solutions are slippery or soapy to the touch, due to the saponification of the fatty acids on the surface of the skin.

[Saponifiaction
Saponification is the hydrolysis of an ester under basic conditions to form an alcohol and the salt of a carboxylic acid. Saponification is commonly used to refer to the reaction of a metallic alkali (base) with a fat or oil to form soap. Saponifiable substances are those that can be converted into soap.]

A cathode is an electrode through which electric current flows out of a polarised electrical device.

Flow of electrons
Scheme of a discharging galvanic cell: The electric current is carried by electrons outside the cell (electric current going the opposite way of the electrons), and is carried by positively charged cations inside the cell (electric current going in the same way as the anions)The flow of electrons is always from anode–to–cathode outside of the cell or device, regardless of the cell or device type.

Chemistry cathode
In chemistry, a cathode is the electrode of an electrochemical cell at which reduction occurs (electrons are added to cations to complete the valence shell or bond). The cathode supplies electrons to the positively charged cations.

Answer 3

1. it contains more OH minus ions


2.yes,cathode in electrolysis supplies electrons&anode recieves them.
