Electrochemistry Question?

Suppose I have a beaker containing the following compound:

Ba(SCN)2 + 2 NH3 + 10 H2O

And I pass an electric current from a cathode to an anode through the compound. Will the compound separate into components? If so, what will the components be, and which component will be at which electrode?

    The solution will contain Ba++, SCN-, NH4+, H+ and OH-. So the cations (+ charged species) will go to the anode and the anions (-charges) will go to the cathode.
