Q

How can a precipitate, such as lead iodide, be removed from a solution?

17
Q

What is the positive electrode in electrolysis called?

A

Anode

PANic

18
Q

What is the negative electrode in electrolysis called?

A

Cathode

PANiC

19
Q

In the electrolysis of lead iodide, why does the lead iodide have to be melted?

A

so the ions can move

and carry the charge

20
Q

In the electrolysis of lead iodide, which electrode do the lead ions go to?

21
Q

Explain why copper ions go to the cathode

A

The cathode is negative
Copper ions are positive
Opposite charges attract

22
Q

Explain why chloride ions go to the anode

A

The anode is positive
Chloride ions are negative
Opposite charges attract

23
Q

Finish the following equation

Pb2+ + __ e- –> Pb

A

Pb2+ + 2e- –> Pb

24
Q

Finish the following equation

_Cl- —> Cl2 + __e-

A

2Cl- —> Cl2 + 2e-

25
Q

How does a copper ion, Cu2+, become a copper ion?

A

By gaining two electrons

26
Q

What is the aluminium ore called?

27
Q

Why is molten cryolite added to the bauxite?

A

To reduce the melting point

so less energy is required

28
Q

Name the three products of the electrolysis of brine

A

Sodium hydroxide
Hydrogen
Chlorine
(CatHy’s AnCls)

29
Q

The loss of electrons is called

A

Oxidation

OILRIG

30
Q

The gain of electrons is called

A

Reduction

OILRIG

31
Q

Why is hydrogen produced instead of sodium in the electrolysis of brine?

A

Sodium is more reactive than hydrogen

32
Q

Why is electroplating used?

A

To make objects look better
To protect the metal from corroding
It’s cheaper than using the pure metal
