The alkali metals are isolated from nonaqueous systems. Why is this necessary?


▸ The electrolysis of aqueous solutions of the alkali metals requires more energy than electrolysis of the molten salts.

▸ The dissolved alkali earth halides are too reactive to be electrolyzed.

▸ The aqueous metal ions are more difficult to reduce than water.

▸ The reduction potentials of the alkali metals are more positive than the reduction potential of water.

▸ The aqueous metal ions react violently with water.
