liquid

electrolyte

24
Q

electrolytes are often … … solutions made from the ore (e.g. copper sulfate) or … … oxides

A

metal
salt
molten metal

25
Q

free

conduct

26
Q

electrons are taken away by the …. and given away by the …

A

(positive) anode

(negative) cathode

27
Q

How is electrolysis used to get copper?

A

1) electrons pulled off copper atoms at the anode -> Cu(+2) ions
2) Cu(+2) ions near the cathode gain electrons and turn back into copper atoms
3) impurities are dropped at the anode as a sludge, while pure copper atoms bond to the cathode

28
Q

the anode is a … of … copper which will …

A

big lump
impure copper
dissolve

29
Q

the cathode starts as a … piece of … copper and more pure copper adds to it

32
Q

Examples of new methods to extract copper are …. and …. Although they have a smaller impact on the environment, the disadvantage is that they’re …

A

bioleaching
phytomining
slow

33
Q

Bioleaching uses … to separate copper from … …

A

bacteria

copper sulfide

34
Q

Phytomining involves growing … in soil that contains copper which gradually builds up in the …

leaves

35
Q

in phytomining, the plants can be … , … and … in a furnace, where the copper is collected from the ash left in the furnace

Mining metal ores is good for the environment because it means … , provides … and brings … into the area

A

useful products can be made
local people with jobs
money

37
Q

Mining metal ore is bad for the environment because it causes … , … and loss of …

A

noise

scarring of the landscape

loss of habitats

38
Q

What does burning fossil fuels contribute to? (3)

A
