Q

Why must aluminium be extracted by electrolysis?

A

It is more reactive than carbon

21
Q

Why does the positive electrode have to be regularly replaced in the extraction of aluminium oxide?

A

Because oxide ions react with the carbon electrode
Releasing CO2
Meaning the electrodes gradually degrade

22
Q

Write an ionic equation for each of teh displacement reactions below:

a) Mg + CuSO4 - Cu + MgSO4
b) Fe + CuCl2 - Cu + FeCl2

A

a) Mg (s) + Cu2+ (aq) - Cu (s) + Mg2+ (aq)

b) Fe (s) + Cu2+ (aq) - Cu (s) + Fe2+ (aq)

23
Q

In the following equation, state which species are oxidised and which are reduced?
Mg (s) + 2HCl (aq) - MgCl2 (aq) + H2 (g)

A
  • Magnesium atoms are oxidised

- Hydrogen atoms are reduced

24
Q

Fill in the blanks:

a) Oxidation is the _____ of electrons

b) Reduction is the _____ of electrons

A

a) loss

b) gain

25
Q

In the following equation, state which species are oxidised and which are reduced?
2Fe2O3 + 3C - 4Fe + 3CO2

A
  • 2Fe2O3 is reduced

- 3C is oxidised

26
Q

During electrolysis, what happens to ions at the:

a) Cathode?
b) Anode?

A

a) Ions gain electrons and turn into atoms (reduction)

b) Ions lose electrons and turn into atoms (oxidation)

27
Q

Write half equations at the anode and cathode for the electrolysis of water

A
  • Anode: 4OH- — 4e- = O2 + 2H2O

- Cathode: 2H+ ++ 2e- = H2

28
Q

Explain why the reaction below is a redox reaction

Zn (s) + 2HCl (aq) - ZnCl2 (aq) + H2 (g)

A
  • Zinc atoms are oxidised
  • Hydrogem atoms are reduced
  • Hence reduction and oxidation happen at the same time so it’s called a redox reaction
29
Q

Write the half equations at the anode and cathode for the electrolysis of lead bromide

A
  • Anode: 2Br- – 2e- = Br2

- Cathode: Pb2+ ++ 2e- = Pb

30
Q

As the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution increases by a factor of 10, what happens to the pH of the solution?

A

The pH decreases by 1 unit

31
Q

If you compared the pH of a 1M Strong Acid and a 1M Weak Acid, which would have a high pH and why?

A

The weaker acid will have the higher pH because it only partially ionises in water

32
Q

What is a ‘weak’ acid?

A

An acid that is only partially ionised in water

33
Q

Give 2 examples of strong acids and 2 examples of weak acids

A

Strong acids include: Hydrochloric, Nitric and Sulfuric

Weak acids include: Carbonic, Ethanoic and Citric

34
Q

Name the ion found in acidic solutions

A

35
Q

Name the ion found in alkaline solutions

A

Hydroxide ion, OH-

36
Q

Write an ionic equation for neutralisation

A

H+ (aq) + OH- (aq) = H2) (l)

37
Q

Why does a metal compound have to be molten or dissolved for electrolysis to work?

A

Because the ions need to be free to flow

38
Q

What is the name for the reaction when an acid reacts with an alkali to make a salt + water?

A

Neutralisation reaction

39
Q

When there are several ions in solution, which ion will collect:

a) at the anode?
b) at the cathode?

A

a) Hydrogen is produced if the metal is more reactive than Hydrogen
b) Oxygen is produced unless the solution contains halide ions, then the halogen is produced

40
Q

What is the name for the liquid that contains the ions the electrolysis process?

A

Electrolyte

41
Q

Why is gold found naturally in the Earth, but other metals are locked up in compounds?

A

Gold is unreactive

42
Q

Describe how you would make a pure, dry sample of a soluble salt using an insoluble base and an acid

A
  • add base in excess to acid
  • filter excess base
  • crystallisation; to seperate salt from its solution
43
Q

If an atom is very reactive, is it more or less likely to turn into an ion?

A

More likely

44
Q

Why can’t aluminium be extracted by reduction with carbon?

A

Aluminium is more reactive than carbon
