← ScienceWhich consequence results when exceeding the limiting current in an electrolytic process?
A)Increased electrode polarization is observed
B)Electrode surface area unexpectedly decreases
C)Solvent breakdown occurs unexpectedly✓
D)Mass transport increases unexpectedly
💡 Explanation
Solvent breakdown begins because exceeding the limiting current results in a drastically reduced ion concentration at the electrode surface. This change causes the electrode potential to shift to a value where the solvent electrolysis occurs, rather than metal deposition. Therefore, option C is correct; other options involve the metal ions directly.
